MainStage shows at PPP are full-scale musical theater productions featuring elaborate sets, high-energy dance numbers, and casts of 50 or more local Bay Area performers. MainStage productions are often staged at the Bayside Performing Arts Center in San Mateo and the College of San Mateo Theatre. PPP invites underserved Bay Area schools—often providing free tickets—to a special “school show” during the run.

PPP has proudly brought high-quality, family-friendly musical theater to the Bay Area since 2002. Recent shows include Honk, Willy Wonka,  Seussical, Disney’s Descendants: The Musical, Shrek the Musical, Matilda, Annie, School of Rock and Oliver! PPP was the first local theater company in the Bay Area to stage both Matilda and Disney’s Descendants: The Musical.

Cast member families and community members come together to build and paint sets, sew costumes, create props and much more in preparation for every show. These incredible, hands-on experiences are not only fun for the whole family, but help make PPP shows truly special, community productions.
