A Story of Passion and Pride, Faith & Belonging

The legendary Mission Play charts the beginnings of California’s modern history as Father Junipero Serra and his followers struggle to build 21 missions throughout the Golden State.

Based on the 1927 classic which played to over 2.5 million people, this re-magined Mission Play is a story of passion and pride, full of dance and song, ultimately celebrating our shared experience, our colorful history and our vibrant community.
