Tabard’s core programming is our Main Stage Season of six plays and musicals, our youth education program, our Top of the Stairs play series and Tabard Events, including our lineup of concerts from diverse genres of music, poetry slam events, and cabaret karaoke. Tabard Education runs after-school theatre programs at Empire Gardens, Lyndale and Vinci Park Elementary Schools, at clubhouses with The Boys & Girls Clubs in east and north San Jose and at McKinley School in partnership with Catholic Charities. These programs are offered free of charge to students. We run three summer theatre camps for children ages 6 to 16 and produce a “Mentor Play” where young performers learn from experienced actors. Our Top of the Stairs series presents plays with more adult themes than our main-stage fare and Tabard Events brings in guest productions such as the national tour of STAND!, Will Durst, Nerd Nite and “Divas”, a benefit concert for breast cancer awareness. We also regularly rent our theatre to local performing arts groups and businesses.
