History
We started in 1962 as part of the Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Department and were called “The Santa Clara Community Theater”. Performing as a traveling show group, we presented our first theater production, “My Thee Angels,” at several local schools.
In 1968, we became known as “The Santa Clara Players,” a city-sponsored cultural group, and eventually became a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors. At around this time, we also began staging our theater productions at the Hall Pavilion (currently a 72-seat theater) behind the Triton Museum.
Directions to the theater
The Santa Clara Players' theater is located at the rear of the Triton Museum grounds.
You can find the Triton at 1505 Warburton in Santa Clara.
But it might be easier to google 1750 Don since that is where we are easiest to find. Either of those addresses will get you to us.
(Please note: don’t go to Don Ave. in San Jose. We are in Santa Clara, two blocks off El Camino Real. )

Traveling Troupe
As a community-based theater group, we have an outreach program, The Traveling Troupe, with the mission of bringing quality entertainment to the community through short plays, monologues, readings, and music. We produce 30-minute to one-hour flexible and affordable shows appropriate to community organizations, churches, social and senior organizations, as well as private parties.

Annual Events
We produce three to four shows per season at the Hall Pavilion, and one one-act play as part of our community outreach program, which is popular with schools, libraries, various church groups, and senior citizen clubs. We are also a proud member of the Santa Clara Arts and Historical Consortium.
