Hoover Theatre Troupes
The Renegade Theatre Experiment started as a group of Santa Clara University students who graduated out of SCU's Mayer Theatre program and wanted to do their own theatre startup. Lead by Sean Murphy, they host some thought provoking shows that are entirely unique and enjoyable.

San Jose Youth Shakespeare is another local home grown theatre program started by a group of home school families. Lead by Audrey Rumsby, they give families the opportunity to participate in classical Shakespeare theatre.
SJYS is a great way to introduce Shakespeare to the family. Now if we could just convince them to hold an outdoor show in the Rose Garden!

The Flamenco Society of San Jose celebrates the music, singing and dancing of Andalusia Spain. If you've never experienced the art of Flamenco dancing then you are missing a real treat. They usually host a show at the Hoover Theatre a couple times a year.
If you like walking the neighborhood you've probably noticed the Historic Hoover Theatre tucked next to the beautiful Herbert Hoover Junior High School building across from the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum.
Named after US President Herbert Hoover, a Stanford graduate, who seemed to have a knack for getting things named after him: Hoover Dam, Hoover Tower & Institute and Hoover Avenue (Garden Alameda).
The theatre is where the old Junior High Gym once stood. A $6 million renovation in 2004 created the wonderful theatre space we have today. The theatre only seats 200 so you are guaranteed a great view.
If you've never seen a show inside the theatre then I strongly encourage you to do so. You can catch innovative plays from the following theatre groups that call the Historic Hoover Theatre home:
