Bring Your Class to a Show
Join us for our specially priced school-day performances at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts! All titles are appropriate for all ages.
Our MainStage musicals are professionally designed productions performed by large casts of youth actors ages 5-18. They are performed on the MainStage at the MVCPA in a theater that seats nearly 600 people.
Our Stories on Stage plays bring beloved children’s stories to live each month of the school year. Each show includes a small cast of 6-15 actors ages 12 and up. These shows are ideal for younger grades as they only last about an hour, including a “talk-back” session with the cast after each performance to ask questions about the play and their experience as actors. The plays are performed in the intimate black-box setting of the SecondStage at the MVCPA which seats approximately 160 people.
School Group Pricing (groups of 10+):
- MainStage: $10/person
- Stories on Stage: $7/person
- Reduced admission is available to groups attending from Title I schools. Please contact us at info@pytnet.org for approval.
TO ORDER TICKETS: Contact Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts ticketing office at (650) 903-6000 or performingarts@mvcpa.com. Please provide your name, school name, group size, show title, showtime(s), and how your group will be traveling to and from the venue.
