What’s Happening at The Pear…


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.

The Art of Murder by Joe DiPietro explores the depths of ambition, betrayal, and the human psyche. Truth and illusion blur, every brushstroke hides a secret and revenge is the final masterpiece. Packed with razor-sharp dialogue, dark humor, and shocking revelations - in The Art of Murder, the mask of civility and artistic integrity is shattered by ambition and revenge.

Playing October 3 - 19
Directed by Melissa Mei Jones
