What’s Happening at The Pear…


Artwork by Stephanie Whigham.

Playing June 12 - 28!

A biting comedy of manners God of Carnage by Yazmina Reza unearths the chaos simmering beneath the surface of civility, revealing just how thin the mask of politeness truly is.

With razor-sharp wit and explosive dialogue, God of Carnage is a wickedly funny exploration of social pretense, marital discord, and the primal instincts we pretend we’ve outgrown.

Announcing Season 25!

Defiant Voices. Vibrant Art. 25 Years Bold.
Visit our EVENT page and select the SUBSCRIPTIONS tab.

The Pear is bold, unique and fiercely independent. Each play we produce this season tells the story of people on the margins -- artists erased from history, lovers who defy social expectation, gamblers and missionaries negotiating morality, veterans navigating invisible wounds, actors fighting to preserve culture itself.

This season is a celebration of persistence — and an invitation.

If you have ever felt outside the mainstream…
If you believe theatre should challenge as much as entertain…
If you value language, risk, and community…

There is a seat for you here.


This is what we stand for.

The Pear Board of Directors and Staff are pleased to share their new Core Values.

The Pear Theatre was founded in 2002 with a mission to offer theatre that challenges our community to see all aspects of our world fully, with intellectually stimulating, emotionally powerful, and professional productions. Our Seasons include classics, contemporary plays, short plays by local playwrights, and world premiere productions of new works. We are dedicated to engaging diverse voices in our programming and to fostering an inclusive environment in all aspects of our work as artists, staff, volunteers, and audience.

Thank you for supporting your South Bay home for unique theatrical experiences and award-winning intimate theatre that is big, bold, brave and magical.
