The organization began life as the Pismo Light Opera Theatre in 1981 with a performance space in the auditorium of the old Pismo Beach City. P.L.O.T. was forced to move out of their permanent home in 1991 when the County of San Luis Obispo declared the building unsafe because it did not meet earthquake standards. Since the loss of their performance space, PL.O.T. has been known as the Pacific Light Opera Theatre. Productions since that time have been held in numerous venues throughout the county, reaching a wide range of Central Coast residents. The primary goals of P.L.O.T. are to continue its tradition of preserving musical theatre/light opera on the Central Coast, to produce theatre which is family-friendly and appealing to all age levels, to offer local opportunities to aspiring and talented youth, and train performers, musicians and backstage personnel of all ages. P.L.O.T. has a history of strong leadership and loyal community support, and has served as the training ground for a large number of performers who are now involved with theatre across the Central Coast. Each production receives its own underwriting from local businesses and private individuals. Fundraising efforts, such as the annual “PLOT-A-THON” bring additional funds to the organization. |
