The Los Altos Stage Company

Mission Statement

Bus Barn Stage Company is a professionally managed, community based theatre company that serves Los Altos and the greater South-Bay area. Our mission is to engage the community and the artists in a shared experience of intimate, professional-quality theatre.

About Us:

Building on a groundswell of community support, and with seed money 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 following the closure of the Los Altos Conservatory Theatre. Los Altos Stage Company was incorporated in August 1995 and received its 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt status later that year.

The Los Altos Stage Company is a quintessential neighborhood playhouse celebrating the full cannon of American theater.  We strive to bring together a diversity of theater practitioners, enthusiasts, and supporters to create, explore and celebrate musicals, comedies, dramas that together weave a rich tapestry of American culture and experience.

Each season, the Los Altos Stage seeks to balance work that entertains, engages, provokes and inspires our audience. Leveraging the special nature of our intimate 99-seat theater, we believe in building deep connections between artist and audience, in offering high production values, and in creating an audience experience that is warm, welcoming, and personal.
