History:

AMTSJ History Entering its 73rd season, AMTSJ is one of the oldest musical theatre companies in America. A professional not-for-profit organization, we have been dazzling audiences with exceptional artistry and innovative approaches to musical theatre since 1934, when a group of community volunteers formed the San Jose Light Opera Association. Our first season opened with The Mikado, and in subsequent decades, stars such as Theodore Bikel, Jane Powell, JoAnne Worley, and many more Broadway-bound local actors have brought their talent to our stage. AMTSJ is attended by 150,000 patrons, is supported by over 15,000 season ticket holders, and operates with a $9,800,000 annual budget. In addition to our main stage productions, AMTSJ brings the power of live performance to over 13,000 children, families and people with disabilities through 14 acclaimed education and outreach programs. With a strong commitment to a thriving arts community in Silicon Valley, AMTSJ is one of the founders of the San Jose Arts Round Table and sits on the boards of Team San Jose, The San Jose Arts Round Table, First Act, Theatre Preservation Inc and the University of Santa Clara. As the largest producing musical theatre company in Northern California, AMTSJ looks toward bright future by breathing new life into musicals, collaborating with our regional theatre partners, nurturing local artists, and engaging our community.
