Pinole Community Players
Education Programs

At Pinole Players, we believe the stage is one of the most powerful classrooms a person can enter. Our education programs are designed to be a "creative home" for students of all experience levels, from 2nd grade through college.

Whether your student is stepping into the spotlight for the first time or is a seasoned performer looking for a supportive community, our sessions focus on more than just acting, singing, and dancing—they focus on building confidence, fostering teamwork, and creating lifelong friendships.

Guided by passionate local artists in a professional theater setting, our students don’t just put on a show; they find their voice.

I will forever be indebted to Pinole Players for the integral role it played in my life. Starting in PYA when I was 4 years old, I grew up in that theatre and continued to perform there through college with Teen Co. and PCP. This company helped develop my sense of self as an artist and a person, and it has given me both community and a deep love for storytelling. Pinole Players influenced me so much that I now work as a theatre professional! As some theatre nerds would say, “I have been changed For Good.”
