The Playhouse has been the stage of choice for many Bay Area children’s theater, local amateur companies and semi professional community theater.  You may be a part of the thousands of patrons who have enjoyed the theater from the audience or have graced our stage. Whichever way you have experienced The Playhouse in San Anselmo you are part of a  celebrated group who know just how special a place it is.

​

This building has humble beginnings as a gymnasium for the Seminary, a building inspired by the great architecture of the times.  Before long the space was converted into the charming theater we cherish today, with arena seating above a stage deck converted from a gym floor.  More about our  history in this  General Manager's note.

If you are looking for performances, please check out our Calendar. The Playhouse does not operate a box office.  Please click the show listed on the calendar entry to find ticketing information.

 

Our mission is to keep a low cost rental facility so that the performing community in the area is able to work in an affordable, functioning, state of the art theater.  To keep that mission alive we charge the lowest rent possible and create a financially feasible professional performance space for small local theater companies. We do this with the aide of patrons such as yourself.
