Curtain Call Performing Arts Leases California Conservatory Theater

From the City of San Leandro

Mayor Stephen Cassidy is pleased to announce that the City of San Leandro has leased the California Conservatory Theater located at the San Leandro Civic Center to Curtain Call Performing Arts (CCPA).

The lease is for five years and achieves the City Council goal of supporting programs and activities that enhance the quality of life in San Leandro and promote a sense of community.

“The arts are vital to a city's quality of life and economic progress," Cassidy said. "We hope that by providing a long term lease at almost no cost, CCPA will prosper and grow into one of the leading theater companies in the East Bay. CCPA already does so much for our city, including providing free performances to student groups and developing the talent and skills of our youth.”

CCPA is led by its founding artistic director and president, Andrea Gorham. CCPA was founded in June 2008 to bring the magic of Broadway-style theater to the San Francisco Bay Area and has produced award-winning shows at this San Leandro facility ever since.

CCPA’s vision is to ensure that performance-based arts are assessable to everyone who desires to participate or attend performances by keeping ticket prices low and class/workshop tuition affordable for the community.

“We are proud to enter into a five year partnership with the City of San Leandro. Curtain Call isall about bringing  our community together through the  arts and this new partnership brings it home,” said Artistic Director, Andrea Gorham. “We would like to thank Mayor Cassidy and the City Council for their unwavering support and understanding that if CCPA is successful, San Leandro is successful.”
