Padua Hills Theatre is located on a part of the historic Rancho San José. This circumstance helped inspire interpretations of this near-to-home heritage in addition to Mexican culture. Padua became both a repository of music and dances from Mexican-era California, and a resource for preserving that culture. Presentations of those California-specific themes included:El rancho San Antonio — July 16 - September 10, 1932 (Alternating with Serenata Mexicana) In a 1998 Memorial Day Weekend interview (and day of dancing) with Albert S. Pill, a collector and popular teacher of California and Mexican folk dances, Mr. Pill talked about taking the dances he had collected to Padua Hills — for the purpose of having Padua Hills musicians make recordings of the music for him to use in teaching the dances.
