Sign in or Create an Account.

Mail City of Mountain View Recreation Class Registration P.O. Box 7540 Mountain View, CA 94039-7540

Class Attendance and Registration • You’re excited and we’re excited that you’re ready to jump into an activity. Before you do, though, make sure you’re already registered to participate. Registration does not happen in class, it happens either at the front desk of the Community Center or online. Please note that no refund or make-up classes will be issued for any missed activity.

Waitlist • Drats! You were this close to getting in! Your name will be placed on a waitlist if your first and alternate class choices are full. Once a spot becomes available, we’ll go down the waitlist in the order our waitlist customers were added and if you’re next, we’ll get a hold of you. You will be given a 24-hour deadline to submit your Registration Form and payment. If your Registration Form and payment are not submitted by the given deadline, you will be removed from the waitlist and the next person on the list will be contacted.

Age/Birth Date • To register, participants must be within the required minimum and maximum age by the first day of class. All participants 17 years of age or younger must provide their date of birth. Proof of age may be requested. ●

Transfer • Need to transfer from one activity to another? You may transfer to another activity as long as you meet the minimum age requirement, there is space available, and you send your written request three (3) business days before the first day of class. So that means if class starts on Monday, you have the Wednesday before to transfer. E-mail your transfer request to recreation@ mountainview.gov. You will be assessed a $10 processing fee per visit.

●

You may also submit a Withdrawal Request Form that you can download by visiting www.mountainview.gov/register.

●

Missed a class? • Unfortunately, no refund or make-up classes will be issued for any missed activity.

●

Class already started but can I still join? • Yes! We do not prorate any of the days that have already taken place, though.

You just need to catch up with everyone else at the next class!

Home Theatre Company, Peninsula Youth Theatre, Turns 25 in 2017

Peninsula Youth Theatre (PYT), a Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts’ Home Company, will be celebrating 25 years of “Building Character on Stage” this season.

Providing outstanding theatrical learning experiences that develop leadership, emphasize responsibility and foster teamwork in a supportive respectful environment, PYT brings live theater to more than 25,000 families each season.

As part of its 25th Anniversary Season, PYT will be presenting the MVCPA premieres of The Lion King Experience, Junior and Little Shop of Horrors as well as perennial musical favorites The Wizard of Oz, CATS and a hysterical, pantomime version of Cinderella.

World Premiere Shows for Stories on Stage

Santa Clara Valley Performing Arts

SoundByte Symphony March 23

During its 25-year history, PYT has brought more than 40 world-premiere stage plays to the MVCPA SecondStage as part of its innovative “Stories on Stage” program.

Showcasing well-loved and award-winning children’s literature, “Stories on Stage” adaptations are a low-cost way for families to

introduce their children to theater through stories familiar to young audiences.

Special Friday morning performances are designed so that teachers can bring their students to the performance and discuss the books presented with their class afterwards.

Following each performance, the director and actors participate in a talk-back session so families can ask questions about the book and the performing process. in 2017, “Stories on Stage” features a full roster of titles that were adapted for PYT and debuted on the MVCPA stage, including world premiere adaptations of Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz-Ryan, The Talented Clementine by Sara Pennypacker and Royal Princess Academy: Dragon Dreams by local author Laura Joy Rennert, which is being adapted for the stage by local teen Jordan Rosenberg.

Learning Stagecraft In addition to performances, PYT offers classes and camps throughout Silicon Valley.

Classes at their Mountain View studio are available for ages 3.5 and up and include “Story Stretchers” and “Broadway Babies.”

PYT’s “School Play in a Box” program takes the show on the road, providing more than 50 on-site school plays each year.

Get Involved For more information about PYT classes, camps and productions, visit the PYT Website at www.pytnet.org or go to MVCPA.com to see show times, descriptions and reserve tickets.

Shoreline connects your home, work, and school to outdoor areas and area destinations via Stevens Creek Trail, Permanente Creek Trail, Hetch Hetchy and a portion of the S.F. Bay Trail. Why not get involved as a Trail Ambassador volunteer, and become an example of trail etiquette, all the while educating trail users, and serving as extra set of eyes/ ears for our rangers as well as city staff?

At the historic Rengstorff House, you can step back in time and enjoy a historic home tour, Tuesdays/Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., or Sundays 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Have you got a passion for storytelling, and want to help ensure docent-led tours for years to come? Then sign up as a volunteer Docent, and become part of Mountain View’s unique history for future generations to enjoy. The venue serves as a fine wedding and event venue on other days of the week.

Admire and identify birds; boat, kayak or wind surf along the lake; dine at the various food and beverage outlets; or enjoy a round of golf at Shoreline Golf Links, all located within Shoreline’s boundaries. For information about ways in which you can engage and enjoy all that Shoreline has to offer, call us at (650) 903-6073 or email shoreline.volunteer@mountainview.gov.
