Founded in 1934, the program is an all-volunteer, non-profit women's organization dedicated to providing live musical theatre for school children in the San Francisco Bay Area, particularly for those who might not otherwise experience it. It has received the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award in 1998 and partners with the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco to support cultural programs for schools. Performances are offered at no cost to students and their teachers, with public ticket sales subsidizing the cost of the school program.
