Welcome

Performing Arts for Youth Society is pleased to present our 2009-2010 exciting season of educational and entertaining shows at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center, adjacent to San Mateo High School. (see map for location)

We hope that you and your students enjoy the rich diversity of these performances, and we encourage you to reserve your tickets well in advance of the scheduled shows.

Your feedback is needed, so that PAYS can continue to provide you and your students with a smooth running and satisfying experience. We would greatly appreciate your filling out a short form for this purpose.

Teachers and kids love PAYS!

"I thought the play, Most Valuable Player, was a great play. It showed a lot of courage of a black man, Jackie Robinson , who did his best even though it was hard"

"As a second grade teacher, I found MVP a wonderful contribution to our lifeskills programs.' "If it weren't for PAYS, our children would never have the opportunity to see a live play."

"Gizmo guys helped us learn more about balance and spaces." I loved all the dancing in PETER PAN. They were great!"
