Announcing Season 24: Hidden Truths!

Join us as we celebrate 24 years of bold, intimate theatre that delights, ignites, and inspires!

Five captivating productions - woven with humor, heart, and a hint of darkness - exploring journeys of discovery, deception, and the quiet pressures that shape our lives.

From reimagined classics to daring contemporary works, each story reveals the tension between who we are, who we pretend to be, and what happens when the truth comes to light.

We’re at a pivotal moment - and our future depends on the continued support and generosity of our community.

Coming soon!

Ada & The Engine is a music-laced story of love, friendship, and the edgiest dreams of the future. Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this poignant pre-tech romance heralding the computer age.

Here in the heart of Silicon Valley, it would serve us well to reflect on where our namesake started: two hundred years ago, in the mind of a young poet whose goal was to create a tool that would prevent misinformation from spreading.

The Pear’s production of Ada & The Engine by Lauren Gunderson is an invitation for each of us to think like Ada. Our future depends on it.

Playing November 21 - December 7!

This is what we stand for.

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