At Chico Theater Company, the experience begins the moment you walk through the doors. Our intimate theater puts you close to the action, with every seat in the house offering a great view and an atmosphere that makes every performance feel personal and engaging.

Before the show and during intermission, our cozy lobby invites you to linger, visit with friends, and enjoy an impressive selection of concessions and a libation from our  full bar. And because we love making each production a complete experience, our bar and dessert menus feature signature cocktails and cheesecakes inspired specifically by each show—adding a delicious little extra touch of theater magic to your visit.

So come early, stay awhile, enjoy a drink, indulge in a slice of cheesecake, and make an evening of it. At CTC, the show is only part of the experience.

From laugh-out-loud comedies and heartfelt dramas to spectacular musicals filled with music and magic, our stage has something for every theater lover. With a diverse lineup of productions throughout the year, there’s always a story waiting to entertain, inspire, and delight you!

At Chico Theater Company, the magic of theater is created by our community, for our community. Our actors, directors, musicians, designers, technicians, volunteers, and audiences all play a part in bringing each production to life. It’s not unusual for someone to take the stage in one show, lend a hand backstage in the next, and then return to their seat to cheer on friends in another. That sense of connection extends beyond the people creating the show—it includes every audience member who laughs, applauds, shares the experience, and helps make live theater so special. Our casts and crews often tell us that CTC feels like family, and we couldn’t be prouder of the welcoming, creative community we’ve built together.
