OrSVP was founded by Orinda resident Charlotte Meyer in 1982. Charlotte was a theatre professional who was one of the founding members of Dramataurs in Lafayette ( now Town Hall Theatre) and she was the first woman in the Scene Painter Union in the 1920's. She graduated from UC Berkley and regularly worked for the San Francisco Opera and Ballet Company. In 1982 she heard about the amphitheater being built and created OrSVP to be the resident theatre company - the first show was produced in 1983 She directed shows with OrSVP into her 90's and remained the central part of the OrSVP family until her passing.
​
Over the years OrSVP has become part of the fabric of the Orinda community and produces three mainstage productions each summer.
