Vice President - Carol GoldbergThe Mountain Play has been a family tradition for over 30 years.   It kicks off our summer fun. It is so exciting to get on the bus, as we know the adventure has begun. Up the mountain we go enjoying the endless views and anticipating our picnic spread.   It is so special to enjoy the play in the historic amphitheater with its breathtaking views of the ocean and San Francisco. What better way to end the day then a leisurely hike down the mountain.  I hope you begin your own family traditions at top the mountain, as well as support the Mountain Play Association.
