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.

Stories on Stage

Furry Tails with a Twist LIMITED AVAILABILITY

Follow the adventures of Sam and Alex, two bumbling actors trying desperately to present a few of the world’s most beloved fairy tales. Unfortunately, their script becomes seriously scrambled and they perform “Goldisocks and the Three Wolves,” “The Three Billy Trolls Gruff,” and “The Three Little Bears,” who end up battling the Big Bad Billy Goat. It’s going to take a whole audience to set the stories straight!
