    Pacifica Spindrift Players

    Pacifica Spindrift Players was established in 1958 by a group of ten people eager to assemble a community theatre in Pacifica. Years later, with a following of devoted theatre enthusiasts behind them, the group acquired an old Baptist church, and volunteers shared their carpentry, lighting and other skills to convert the building into a working theatre. Today, Pacifica Spindrift Players is a nonprofit organization that continues to attract the most dedicated and exceptional volunteers.


    Along with staging a full season of shows each year, the Players are involved in the local community. Their contributions have included marching and entertaining in the annual Fog Fest Parade, donating or loaning theatre equipment and properties to local school drama departments and other community theatres, offering free senior center shows and local talent showcases, awarding the Tom Stack Educational Scholarship for the Arts award each year, and donating the proceeds of special benefit performances to deserving causes.

        SO glad Brendan Nolan did such a great interpretaton of George Bailey. He was first class. Mary, Clarence and Mr. Potter were standouts. Joan Pugh Newman as Ma Bailey was very skillful and compassionate and the the comic relief of Mr. and Mrs. Martini was scrumptions. Loved the carollers at the preshow and the antics of Bert and Ernie. The supporting townspeople were always focused and energic which really made us feel like we were stepping right into Bedford Falls. Great show! Collapse

        My husband & I have for years held the tradition to view our VHS of It's a Wonderful Life every Xmas season. It was so much fun to view a live performance of this great story. This is our first time at a PSP Production. It will definitely not be our last. The actors were great and looked like they were having fun. I especially liked the performances of the actors who played Mr. Potter and Mary Bailey. Good job by all. I also enjoyed the coziness of the small house. I felt closer to the actors and it added to my enjoyment of the show. Collapse

        I have known Lou or Todd or whatever you call him for some time and am amazed at the talent. Tonight will be my 3rd visit to Asylum and I can hardly wait. These guys are sooo good and on top of it. Last time I did fall on the floor with laughter. This time I will put something in my back pocket for protection. The quality of the humor from Pacifica no less is something to be proud of. They put the X in extemporaneous they put the hummm in humor and provide all forms of skits from ho to hum. I highly reccomend this troupe as they rarely perform tripe. (pun intended) With that, I exit stage left. Collapse

        I went for the first time to this theater as an obligation to see two friends who were in the production of Camelot. Thank goodness I have the duty to support my friends because I was treated to an outstanding production in all aspects. The acting, singing, staging,costuming (A++),props, set decor, musicians, lighting and sound were all superb.I assume this had to a lot to do with cast and crew dedication and excellent direction. I was not familiar with the book, movie or stage play but now know why this story has been so popular and lasted so long. I was thoroughly entertained.The theater itself is a little gem, the acoustics are marvelous and every seat is great. All the people involved were charming from the ticket seller to the ushers. Oh, and, of course, my friends were marvelous!!! Collapse

        These people are dangerously funny. Why the person next to me almost laughed his ass off. I would have also except I was rolling in the aisle. Come prepared to laugh and have a good time.
