Chaffey High School Theatre

Best high school theater company! I have researched several high schools’s similar productions of chaffey’s and they aren’t up to par with chaffey! Chaffey high school’s production level is outstanding! It’s surprising that their shows are from high schoolers! Chaffey high is out there. They are on a level where it looks like a professional show

Came here for opening night of the high school’s production of In the Heights. I loved the show and the kids are really talented. The actual venue, I’m told by the alumni in attendance, is a very, very old building. It has beautiful architecture and is a large auditorium. There is no box office that I can see and no place close to park. I parked on the street, on Euclid. If there was designated parking, there was no direction or signs that say where to park. The price was right, $ 11 if ordered online. I have seen professional productions of «in the heights» and I won’t compare the two because it’s not fair to the kids. I love this play and they did a good job. I went opening night and they have some things to work out and I’m sure by now, it’s smooth sailing. Overall I’d come because the auditorium is beautiful and to support local theater arts and above all, support young kids trying to make it!

Booked tickets for Straight from Las Vegas: The Rat Pack. Wonderful show. This not an impersonator show. This was pure 1960s show and reminded be of the b& w shows of the past. If you Love Madmen, you’ll love the vibe. I truly felt as if I was in Vegas enjoying the slightly naughty banter of the Rat Pack gang. Not to be missed!

«I’m going to see a high school play this Friday night.»
Indeed, every person that heard my Friday night plans produced a quizzical look that quickly became a predictable reaction. A high school play? Interestingly enough, I’m not even an alumnus of this high school. However, this is no ordinary high school production. This is a Chaffey High School production led by director David Masterson. And these guys are good. Real good. This season, the Chaffey Theatre Company presented Monty Python’s Spamalot, based on the motion picture «Monty Python and the Holy Grail.» There is no better example of how dark, satirical, and quirky British humor can be than a Monty Python sketch. The proverbial gauntlet was laid before the young production company on whether they could pull this play off. I come before you and vouch to the outstanding job this high school did in providing a very enjoyable production. The play did not skimp on any of the classic quips, inneundos, and non sequiturs that are often seen in a Monty Python comedy sketch. For a high school production, it bordered on astonishing at times, but was hilarious from exposition to curtain call.
There is an important caveat to this review: the disappointing box office numbers. Mr. Masterson admitted prior to the start of the show that this was the lowest grossing production in the history of the Chaffey Theatre Company. For a quality production with talented high school students (along with a few young and mature talent), this is unacceptable. After seeing Spamalot, it was intuitively obvious that several of the actors in this production have talent and an effervescent passion for theater. Family members, friends, professors, even the school board were all in attendance Friday to support the often ignored high school performance arts. But what of the community? Where are the former alumni coming out in full force?
Chaffey High School typically has a fall and spring production. To each of you that missed on the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic production at $ 12 per seat ($ 14 at the door), your chance will come in Spring 2014. Bring yourself and a loved one, you will most assuredly have a great time.
