Customer Reviews

Saw a fabulous performance of Big Fish, the lead actor / singer /dancer, Jeff Lowe, was particularly stellar! As always fine performances, Direction, and production value at The Chance theater.

AMAZING PERFORMANCE OF JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH!!! Loved the movie growing up and enjoyed the play a lot. The house we watched it in was the smaller one which allowed for the play to be more "intimate" and more enjoyable!

This is a very small, intimate venue with amazing Productions. We just saw James and the Giant Peach and it was fantastic. The cast was so talented the choreography was excellent and the directing was the best.

Met the founders almost 20 years ago when looking for a place for my (then) HS daughter to volunteer. Served on the first board, appeared in a few cameos, even provided accompaniment for a couple holiday shows. Productions are high quality, theater draws from a wealth of local talent and there is a core company of Fellows-in-Training, Fellows, Resident Artists, and Council Members that keep the place going. Each season has a mix of musicals, dramas, kid and holiday fare. Check out one show or subscribe and save substantially over a season.

We saw James and the Giant Peach and really enjoyed ourselves. Small intimate theater (about 50 seats for the smaller theater), with good viewing. The actors were great and very talented! What fun visuals and songs! Great for kids.

My husband and I saw Violet, and the acting and singing were terrific. Very talented cast, especially Violet (Monika Pena) and Old Lady (Janet McGregor). Sound system is terrific, and there's not a bad seat in the house.

My favorite local small live theater. High quality performances.

Super cute theater, it was a pleasure to see a great play right around the corner.

Do not take a "Chance" on this theater!!! Staff was rude from the moment we entered the door. I took the family as part of their Christmas gift with 4 children. I thought this would be good family fun for all. We drove over an hour. We saw "The Secret Garden" matinee. Our smallest child was enjoying the show, when he started to fuss I promptly took him out. We came back in after about 10 minutes and he was quiet and continued to enjoy. Before the end of the first act, I was tapped on the shoulder and the woman from the ticket counter said, "You need to come with me". Not knowing why I had to leave, I followed with our youngest and my fiance. She told us that we had to leave and that there had been complaints from the cast and the stage manager about our child, NOT from the patrons. The only thing that was said to me by the woman seated next to me was how cute my son is. When we questioned that the people complaining were not patrons, she said "the patrons were looking at us". How would she know, she was at the ticket counter as I saw her there when I came out before. They were unapologetic and rude. I got a partial refund and left with our youngest. If they have an age range policy it should be clearly stated so I never would've made the unfortunate trek here in the first place. Merry Christmas was more like Bah Humbug! Secondly, I have made a career in the arts and am writing under a pseudonym. Whilst performing on stage, one must disregard the "fourth wall". These actors are doing a musical in a strip mall, not Hamlet in the round.

Simply put- The owners despise children. Please do not reward these people with your business, especially if you are a parent. We brought our small child to a CHILD'S PLAY (Secret Garden), bought him a ticket, and when he got a little fussy- once- we took him outside. When we brought him back he was fine for 20 minutes, until an employee tapped us on the shoulder and said- "You need to come with me right now". Puzzled, we walked with her. She said she had received complaints about our child. Upon really digging- it was HER OWN STAFF that complained. Not a single patron. They kicked out our little one and offered us a "partial refund"! They take themselves way too seriously and they are bad people, and intolerant of children. Don't sell tickets to a child's play- to a child- and then throw him out for being a child. Please stay away from Chance #Chilrenhaters
