Woodside Community Theatre

Welcome to the Woodside Community Theatre!  WCT has been entertaining audiences in the mid-peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area for over 50 years.  We currently perform one major Broadway musical every year in mid-November.

Tradition  Froma Sera  To Life

Our most recent production was Fiddler on the Roof, with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein.   Performances were November 6-15, 2009.

"The show feels professional, even though almost all of the 130 people involved in the production are amateurs", raved the Woodside Almanac about WCT's Fiddler on the Roof.

WCT has a rich and colorful history; originally founded in the 1950s as a fundraising arm of the PTA of the Woodside school district, our group has grown in sophistication and quality during the 21st century.  We perform in the elegant, state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center at Woodside High School.  The sight lines and acoustics are fantastic, and the seats are roomy and comfortable.
 
WCT musicals always feature a full live orchestra, and bring together the best singers, actors, dancers and technicians the Peninsula has to offer.  Our productions have received critical and audience acclaim.  We are all amateurs – and all have "day jobs" in other fields – but our shows are often compared favorably with professional companies in San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Annually in June, WCT presents a scholarship to one or two area graduating high school seniors, who intend to go on to study drama, music or technical theater in college, and who have distinguished themselves in productions in high school.
 
We have a great time bringing Peninsula audiences great theater, and one of the reasons is because we have a superlative producing, directorial and design staff, and a legion of motivated volunteers.
 
Ticket sales and other operational revenue only partially support WCT's operations; we rely on donations and grants to make our productions possible.
