Welcome to the Woodside Community Theatre! WCT has been entertaining audiences in the mid-peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area for over 50 years. We currently perform one major Broadway musical each year in the Fall. 2012 Fall Show announced: Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music 
| Music by Richard Rodgers Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein IIBook by Howard Lindsay and Russel CrouseSuggested by "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers"October 26 - November 4, 2012, Woodside High School Performing Arts Center The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre. The motion picture version remains the most popular movie musical of all time. |
Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific a delight to the eye and ear
In November, 2011, we produced South Pacific, Rodgers and Hammerstein's timeless tale of love and high-jinks set in a tropical paradise in the midst of history's most cataclysmic war.

The Drowsy Chaperone wows Audiences!Woodside Community Theatre's most recent production was the community theater Bay Area premiere of: 
| THE DROWSY CHAPERONE
Music and Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar A rare combination of unprecedented originality and blinding talent, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE boldly addresses a great unspoken desire in all of our hearts: to be entertained. If you've ever sat in a dark theater and thought, "Dear Lord in heaven, please let it be good," this is the show for you! It all begins when a die-hard musical-theater fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable, and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room, telling the rambunctious tale of a brazen Broadway starlet trying to find, and keep, her true love. |
Audiences Loved The Drowsy Chaperone:  "I laughed from the moment the lights came up until the curtain dropped" "Excellent performances! Strong cast! Costumes! Sets! Great entertainment! Bizarre!
