A HOME FOR ALL ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES AT PVTC
Welcome to Portola Valley Theatre Conservatory, a nonprofit theater nestled in the redwoods of the San Francisco Peninsula. At PVTC, we believe in the power of storytelling to amplify diverse perspectives and unite communities across differences. In our shows, after-school classes, summer camps, and community programs, we celebrate the unique creative potential of every individual—ages 3 to 103—to practice empathy and center inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility.

OUR IMPACT
OUR STORY
Located in the serene redwoods of northern California, Portola Valley Theatre Conservatory strives to create quality theatrical experiences for audiences and artists throughout the Bay Area Peninsula.
PVTC was founded by Artistic Director Cheryl Goodman-Morris, who also served as pastor of Worship and Arts at Valley Presbyterian Church. It was Cheryl’s desire, along with PVTC Board Chair, Tom Kelley, and the members of Valley Pres to create a quality theatre arts program that would open VPC’s doors wide to the community.
PVTC staged its first intergenerational production, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 1993 and was incorporated as a 501c3 in 1997.
PVTC's programs range from after school classes for students of all ages to outreach in schools, MainStage productions, devised works, hands-on internships, and a high school-led Youth Council. It has been thrilling to see that in our 30+ years of existence, hundreds of students and thousands of audience members have become part of PVTC's special arts community!
