177 E. Blithedale Ave. / P. O. Box 2025, Mill Valley, CA 94942 415.383.1100 The Mountain Play's thousands of patrons come from all over the greater Bay Area and beyond. The performances are held near the top of Mount Tamalpais in the Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre, fondly referred to as "the mountain theatre." One of the oldest non-profit theatre companies in the area, the Mountain Play staged its first theatrical performance of "Abraham and Isaac" in 1913.Members of the audience hiked the eight miles from Mill Valley or steamed up the mountain on the Tamalpais Railroad, the "Crookedest Railroad in the World." The Mountain Play Association (MPA) was formed the following year. Congressman William Kent, who owned the land on the mountain where the amphitheatre stood, was one of its vice presidents. The Mountain Play's 2010 performance of "Guys and Dolls" just finished its run. The 2011 production is yet to be announced.
