Located on East Eaton Road in Chico, the Chico Theater Company offers live performance enthusiasts an intimate venue in which to enjoy a wide range of locally produced productions throughout the year.The theater was officially opened nearly two decades ago to foster local talent. Its productions include a variety of performances, many of which are produced with school-aged visitors in mind.Their schedule includes lots of performances for adult theater lovers as well. Tickets to the most popular shows can go quickly, so it’s wise to reserve seats in advance if you know when you’ll be in the area.

I enjoy this place so much! I go a few times a year with family. So far my favorite shows have been The Addams Family and Its a Wonderful Life. Arrive early as parking can be tricky-then you can also purchase a delicious treat and drink from the concession stand! Support local arts.

Our granddaughter was in Aristocrats!!! It was glorious. The whole experience was wonderful. ( one suggestion..after performance when the kids line up out front, moving them to the side would help with folks trying to get out the door. A lot of picture taking and chatting which is wonderful. Just heard a little complaining and wanted to pass on).

Always a fun place to see a show. The setting is intimate, the actors have fun, and I always have fun when I go. Addams Family was the most recent, but have seen a dozen or more. Get tickets, take your family or friends, and have fun!

I have now been there twice. The first time I went with my son for a wonderful production of Arsenic an Old Lace and most recently for the 9th Annual Shorts Film Festival which was really surprising to me that I hadnt made it there before. What a great event bringing films from around the world and some filmmakers from a little closer than that, but wow! Ill be back. I have literally driven by this place thousands of times before I realized it was here. Thats on me, but I think I had my brain in another place since it is around the corner from my office. What a gem! Check it out. You wont be sorry.

Food and drink allowed in theaterOver spacious lobbyBigger theater area and seats then Paradise on the Ridge theaterThe place doesnt look like a theater on the outside but when you go inside its very spacious and theres a huge area to sit while you eat food or visit after the show and it looks like it would be a smaller Theatre seeing how big the lobby area was but the theater was actually quite big and bigger than the one in Paradise! We were late and the woman was nice and gave us a discount definitely will be going agian

This is the fourth time Ive been to the Chico Theater Company. I have enjoyed every performance! We saw Mamma Mia and enjoyed it immensely! The singing and the songs were terrific! If you have a chance to go see it you will not be disappointed!

Just watched Annie, wow! What a great production. Every character was great, they were all so much fun to watch. And the singing, I could not believe how all the characters could sing. I just wished Oroville had a Theater company like this. I would love to have my kids be a part of such an amazing company. We cant wait to see another play.

Recently saw a great production of Mama Mia!! Great seating in a small intimate venue! They have s great snack bar with amazing desserts and...a full bar! How amazing is that for Chico??

Review №22

People are fantastic, the entrance is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The snack bar is great, youll find wonderful treats on there like Snickers ice cream cake, key lime pie, chocolate cake, caramel corn and regular corn, coffees, rock stars, sodas, candies and other treats. They also have an adult bar with specialty drinks. The only complaint I personally have is it was a little hard to see and Im an adult I can imagine what it would be like for a child the seating should be more angled and the sound system had some issues the night I was there the speaker in the top left corner seem to constantly have white noise one of the main characters microphone sounded muffled. it was also a little cold in there so Id recommend bringing a sweater. The performance and actors were both wonderful!

Where does the CTC find all the remarkable talent...singing, acting, dancing, and often all three combined? We usually attend two sessions of the same show, and marvel at at the growth of the newer amateur performers. Keep up the good work.

First time back in about 5 years. Saw Footloose, enjoyed the production a lot! Many really great and talented actors. Great energy! Would be more easier to watch the performance if the seats were staggered, not just lined up directly behind each other. I had a tall person in front of me and had to learn over towards the pets on next to me to watch the whole performance. Uncomfortable! I love the Performing Arts Center at PV because they have excellent seating. Concessions were good except out of cake already. Id think theyd have gone and purchased some before the show. I will go back even with these few negative things, I like to support the arts.

Review №32

Had to paid a lot of money to learn the play and be in it. For the hundreds of dollars paid, she was on stage exactly 3 times for maybe a total of nine minutes. The play lasted at least 2 hours. Not worth the money. The playhouse in Paradise is much better.

A quality facility that puts on live theatrical productions. The facility is always clean, well maintained, and staffed with friendly/courteous individuals. The facility also houses a snack bar that includes alcohol selections. The snack bar typically serves items themed to the current theatrical production.
