Coastal Repertory Theatre



Coastal Repertory Theatre (once known as This Side of the Hill Players) was founded in 1986 to bring high quality theatrical entertainment to the Coastside. In 1993 the theater found a home in the Mel Mello Center for the Performing Arts in Half Moon Bay.

An artistic beacon of the Coastside, Coastal Rep is a non-profit community theater run by volunteers. Our theatrical talent is drawn from the Coastside and the greater Bay Area.

We are proud of the high quality of our productions performed in a small 158 fixed seat theater. Artistically, our goal is to present excellent performances of plays and musicals that are joyous, hilarious, touching, provocative, inspiring, and above all, entertaining.

And the shows go on. Every production is a miracle - taking time and effort beyond calculation. Every performance is magic as the audience becomes part of the creation that is the play.

For the people involved with Coastal Rep, it's a labor of love - love of the arts. Time and creative energy are given tirelessly. And while all of us receive personal satisfaction from our participation, we are also in it for the greater good: the contribution that performing arts make in enriching the community.
