Chance Theater

My son and I saw the stinky cheese man March 6. It was our first experience at chance theater. The seating area is intimate. The actors were an engaging group– funny and professional. My 6 year old was laughing the whole evening. He was invited to say a line on stage. I can’t say this moment made his night– this may be his highlight of the year! He truly felt he saved the play. Our evening was amazing can’t wait to go again!

My husband and I love going to the Chance Theater. We have seen 3 productions and they were all excellent. Very intimate experience. Just saw Dogfight the other night. This production was truly wonderful. The cast was outstanding! We stayed on afterwards to listen to the cast answer questions and personally meet them. They were very enthusiastic and personable. The other 2 productions were She Loves Me and Loch Ness. With such outstanding shows we will be back many more times. Keep up the good work!

Great local theater. The new location is awesome. Their sound system is perfect and the show are intimate. I love to go here and I’m looking forward to attending many more plays..

I have seen many productions here that have been absolutely phenomenal but tonight I saw the Eight Reindeer Monologues and I am absolutely disgusted. I have absolutely no idea what I just saw and have no idea who wrote this but they are a sick individual. They completely twisted the fantasy of Santa Claus and made him a rapist and a pedophile. The first three (Dasher, Cupid, and Prancer) were absolutely wonderful and hysterical and where I thought the plot would continue, but it did not. With Donner coming up and telling the story of how Rudolph was screaming and crying in the next room whilst being raped by Santa Claus is not okay and not funny or entertaining at all. I don’t understand how this play sells out every night. I am sitting here on my couch afterwards wondering what the heck I just did with my night and am completely befuddled. I am completely surprised that no one walked out but maybe, just maybe, they were like me, hoping that maybe it would return to being like the first three monologues. If I could give this production 0 stars I would.

Saw reindeer show today… acting was good but story theme was sick… the story was based on rape… it was ugly and uncomfortable…3 people walked out… felt like I was misled when they said «adult humor».it was totally disgusting and left my whole group feeling down. rape is not funny… EVER…I’ve lived in the area for 19 years and finally decided to see a show there… gross…tasteless…love plays but this was so inappropriate and I was the youngest one there…

Tonight I brought a small group with me, 14 members of my theater group and we were thrilled with the performance tonight of «Anne of Green Gables» it was just so fabulous! I wished they didn’t even have to stop for intermission, I wanted the play to just go on, I was enjoying it so much. The cast was just exceptional, and Jeff made sure my group was given the best seats keeping us together. I can’t wait to post their first show of the new season.
What a great evening, thank you all so much Jeff for our assigned seats together, and the cast for a terrific play!

Tonight was the first time that my friends and I attended this theater to watch «Anne of Green Gables» the musical, and we absolutely loved our experience there! The Chance has such a small theater charm that made our experience there very intimate and personable! All of the actors and actresses put on such a wonderful and engaging production, and even invited people in the audience to come up to the stage after the show to talk to any of them, and to take photos with them! In addition to the wonderful performances from everyone tonight, and the heartwarming music from the pianist himself, the musical brought back wonderful memories for me, growing up as a kid and reading the «Anne» books!
Furthermore, I felt like coming here was certainly a very nice and relieving change from attending some of the bigger theatrical and musical venues that I have been to before, like the Pantages Theater and the Hollywood Bowl, which are spectacular venues, but can feel extremely overwhelming and impersonal for a lot of concert or show-​goers like me. The Chance Theater also has plenty of parking and makes it very convenient for people to come and go, unlike some of the bigger theatrical or musical venues where parking can be such a huge pain.
I would highly recommend anyone to watch «Anne of Green Gables» at the Chance Theater, or any other theatrical or musical productions that they have planned! I know that I will definitely come back!

Gave The Chance some more chances, just never again the Rheindeers Chrons. Saw a marvelous production of Hairspray here. Back again now for A Bright Night in Boise. Fantastic performances in the 2011 Obie winning play.

Drove from West LA to Anaheim, hoping that this theatre was doing some great work — and it was! Saw THE DRAGON PLAY in its smaller space: challenging material that was well-​directed. I’ll drive there go again…

Went to Chance Theatre for the first time last night. Amazing production of Hairspray! Not a bad seat in the place! Entire cast was amazing with special shout-​out to Taylor Hartsfield. Must see and I will definitely be going back to Chance.

Best theater in OC and LA. Cutting edge theatre, continually growing, welcoming and non-​stuffy atmosphere, amazing approach to each piece, great talent… can’t say enough. LOVE IT! Just opened their new 2^nd stage and I’m eager to see their TYA series in addition to their mainstage!

Came to
the Heights with my son. Very nice, small local theatre performance very good.nice.up.close fun.
