Playing July 17 - August 3!

The annual Pear Playwrights Guild is back for their 24th season of fresh Pear Slices! This beloved series has brought over 100 new works, all written by local writers to Pear's audiences. Who will make the cut this year, and enjoy the spotlight?

Join us for what Bay Area critics have lauded as “an evening of exciting, live theatre” that is “overall highly engaging and thoroughly entertaining,” and a “tradition [to] look forward to” with new works that are “quirky and thought-provoking.”

Season 25 Subscriptions Now Available!

Defiant Voices. Vibrant Art. 25 Years Bold.

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.
