Getting ready for 2025, Happy Drapery Cleaning day!

Did you know that theater drapes are IFR rated? That stands for Inherently Fire Retardant. Our drapery is all IFR and keeping them clean means they stay performance ready and in ship shape!

Nashville NorthBay? The Playhouse was pleased to be the venue for a Cedars of Marin music night. A first for us, but perhaps not the last time we host music here at the theater.

AJ Lee and Blue Summit are a terrific bluegrass band out of Santa Cruz. Snapped this while they were setting up. They have performed at the , and everywhere in between. Look them up! If you get a chance to see these folks live we recommend it!

That giving time of year so we wrote a thing. Hop over to the News on our Website for a quick read.

Happy Holidays and Cheers to a New Year

If you subscribe we'll send you this kind of entertainment about once a year, although no promises that we are this inspired for better or worse at year end 2024. A Playho...

The new LED lights looking magical!

Greetings from The Playhouse!

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we want to thank you for being a wonderful supporter of The Playhouse of San Anselmo!

Can you help us continue our mission to provide a low-cost venue for the many local companies that use The Playhouse every year? No amount is too little! We appreciate all donations!

We are so fortunate to have such wonderful donors like you to help maintain our local gem and even more fortunate to have been able to make significant improvements to our theatre! We are upgrading our lighting to LED which is state of the art as well as much more economical for us. We are also adding new curtains to our “crow’s nest” up in corner and making needed repairs on our beloved Playhouse.

Please go to http://www.playhousesananselmo.org to make your donation.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Happy Holidays from Marilyn Izdebski & the Board of The Playhouse of San Anselmo!

Here goes nothing! Adopt some theater lighting!

The Theater has 15 working 8" fresnel instruments available to any one who wants all or any of them. We recently upgraded to LED lighting and these lights were all retired! The equipment is in good shape and include lamps. If anyone knows anyone who might want these and can pick them up or arrange for their pickup please message us and let us know. They take up a lot of room in our backstage area and we need to get them to their next forever home.

Trash Talk!
You may notice we have replaced our recyling bins with locking bins. This is how we are keeping our bins pure so that Marin Sanitary will pick up our recycling. For more trash talk please visit our web site in the Rental page Document Library. We have an entire policy sheet about how to manage the trash at The Playhouse in San Anselmo.
