About the Los Altos Stage Company

The mission of the Los Altos Stage Company is to present theater that celebrates the rich diversity of American art and culture, to foster an enduring commitment to the performing arts and artists, and to serve as a welcoming and creative gathering space for our community.

With strong community support and initial funding from The David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the Los Altos Community Foundation, the Los Altos Stage Company (formerly the Bus Barn Stage Company) was founded in June 1995 after the Los Altos Conservatory Theatre closed. The company was incorporated in August 1995 and received its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status later that year.

The Los Altos Stage Company stands as a beloved neighborhood playhouse, honoring the entire spectrum of American theater. Our mission is to unite a vibrant mix of theater makers, fans, and supporters to craft, discover, and revel in musicals, comedies, and dramas that together form a colorful tapestry of American life.

Every season, Los Altos Stage curates a blend of performances designed to delight, challenge, and move our audience. In the cozy embrace of our 99-seat theater, we foster genuine connections between artists and guests, deliver exceptional production quality, and ensure every visit feels inviting and memorable.

Los Altos Stage is a cornerstone of our community, bringing live theater to life, acting as a gathering place for residents, and sparking a passion for the performing arts across generations. By championing local arts, we envision our region blossoming into a thriving cultural hub.

Since opening its doors, Los Altos Stage has brought over 150 productions to life, showcasing the talents of hundreds of artists and volunteers from all walks of theatrical experience.
