Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, The Pear Theatre will ensure salaries of our principal staff employees: Artistic/Executive Director, Production Manager, and Education Director. COVID has depressed ticket sales, so predicting revenue is difficult. Grant funds will help keep our staff employed and our programs running.

Organization Summary

The Pear was founded in 2002 by Diane Tasca and a group of dedicated theatre artists. We have always been a small theatre with a HUGE heart. Since inception, the Pear has offered audiences a broad mix of productions, which our audiences have loved:
* Classics including works by Shakespeare, Congreve, Ibsen, Chekhov,
Synge, Wilde, and Shaw
* Acclaimed modern plays by authors such as O’Neill, Miller, Williams,
Coward, Hansberry, and Wilder
* Challenging contemporary works by playwrights like Nottage, Kushner,
Stoppard, Ruhl and Zimmerman
* New works by local writers–full-length plays and 10-minute Pear Slices
