Who We Are
The Foodbank Players is a dynamic community theater group based in Alameda, California. We are a passionate collective of theater artists (from all over the San Francisco/Oakland east-bay area), neighbors, and volunteers dedicated to creating free, high-quality performances that unite and uplift our community. From supporting the Alameda Food Bank to staging captivating shows in the Alameda Healing Garden, everything we do is rooted in service, inclusion, and creativity.
Our productions feature a diverse mix of professional actors, emerging talent, and community members—some returning to the stage after decades. Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of local volunteers powers our efforts in publicity, promotion, and production. Together, we’re building community through the arts—one show at a time.
