Civic Arts Stage Company is a youth and family theater company dedicated to enhancing literacy and love of language. By enacting the stories of our most beloved children’s classics, our actors experience the great joy of reliving the stories we grew up with, while the audience watches the characters jump off the page and onto the stage.
Civic Arts Stage Company is proud of its quality productions, supported in large part by a relationship with the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, which has been producing professional touring Shakespeare productions for almost 20 years, including the Free Shakespeare in the Park production held in Pleasanton every summer for the last 10 years. Their extensive network of professional directors, stage managers, designers and actors offer a supportive and educational experience for our actors, which translates into a quality performance experience. All productions are cast from auditions open to all residents of the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley communities. Adults are encouraged to audition as well, as we do our best to cast adults or older youth in appropriate adult roles. No prior experience is required.
Presented by Civic Arts Stage Company and Bay Area Children's Theatre

In this epic tale based on the Sanskrit classic, Prince Rama joins forces with Hanuman the flying monkey to rescue his love, Princess Sita, from the evil Demon King Ravana. Hanuman’s bravery, Ravana’s trickery, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil have made this story essential to Hindu culture for centuries. You’ll love it, too!
