About
Hillbarn Conservatory offers school year programs that take place both in-house and as outreach programs within the local community throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. The program also offers one-day workshops and masterclasses during the year, including Broadway intensives, stage combat, actors bootcamp, and tapping like Gene Kelly. Each program culminates in a performance where students share what they have worked on with friends and family.
• Schedule: Box office open Tuesday–Friday, 11 am–3 pm, and one hour before showtime
Hillbarn Conservatory is part of Hillbarn Theatre & Conservatory, which creates live, award-winning theatre and conservatory education programs. Instruction is provided by Broadway and Regional Theatre professionals and educators. The organization is led by Executive Artistic Director Steve Muterspaugh and Conservatory Director Sarah Jebian. Hillbarn Theatre & Conservatory describes Season 85 as “85 Years and Soaring, A Celestial Celebration.”
Hillbarn Theatre & Conservatory states a mission to create a supportive, all-inclusive environment where students can cultivate and share their passion, talent, and diverse backgrounds as they collaborate to create theatre, to instill skills they will need to become the best artists they can be and build a more conscious and compassionate society, and to challenge, engage, and inspire students to celebrate their own uniqueness and the power of the performing arts. The organization describes its programming as driven by the founding ideal “To create theatre with the community, for the community,” and notes that its productions explore narratives that use an intimate space to blur the lines between audience and artists, resulting in a shared experience of empathy and education. Hillbarn Theatre & Conservatory identifies itself as one of the Bay Area’s most beloved not-for-profit theaters and states that it is dedicated to three guiding principles—quality, diversity, and community—seeking to be an artistic home that provides productions and programs contributing to the quality of life in the Bay Area. The organization acknowledges that it resides on the traditional land of the Ramaytush Ohlone people and honors the land and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations.
