From poignant comedies(“ Belles”,“ Sylvia”), musicals(“ Spamalot”,“ You’ re A Good Man,

Charlie Brown”), farces(“ Red Velvet Cake War”,“ Fox on the Fairway”), whodunnits(“ Clue” and“ The Murder Room”) and of course, classics like“ The Odd Couple”. Of course, we’ ve sprinkled in some drag, some puppets, some audience participation and more than a few food fights!
What’ s it like at the theater? Theater doesn’ t have to be fussy or hoity-toity! We perform at the historic Grange Hall in Gilroy. You sit at small cocktail tables, savory snacks on the tables and sweet treats, coffee and soft drinks, beer and wine, for sale. We keep our ticket prices affordable because accessibility is important to us. Casual and homey is the compliment we get the most. We want you to feel welcome, like you’ re in our living room.
The feedback we’ ve gotten from our actors is appreciation for feeling included and the opportunity to build community and friendships. The feedback we’ ve gotten from audiences is appreciation for bringing lightness and laughter, even when the world feels tumultuous. In fact, that’ s when we need art and laughter the most, isn’ t it?
The whole Pintello clan, including my brother Simon, my husband Charley Gilmore, and of course our founders, my folks, invite you to visit anytime! We also encourage you to walk around your neighborhood. Go find a volunteer organization that’ s bringing a little lightness and show them some love, visit their art exhibition, go listen to a choir sing, take a moment to enjoy homegrown art in your own community!
Whitney Pintello is a fine artist specializing in scenic painting for theaters, as well as a mixed media instructor and artist working on canvas, glass and murals. Pintello Comedy Theater welcomes you to join us for laughs! www. PintelloComedy. com # theressomethingfunnygoingonhere
