The Chance Theater

Mission:

Chance Theater is dedicated to the creation of exciting theatrical experiences, taking artistic risks, and collaborating with gifted artists on passionate and provocative plays and musicals.

Our mission is to contribute to a more compassionate, connected, and creative Orange County.

We do this by:

 - producing powerful, socially-conscious, provocative, intimate theater experiences

 - generating participation and dialogue between our diverse communities

 - nurturing and supporting local artists

 - inspiring and empowering creative young minds

Proud to be one of the leading ensemble-driven theatre companies in Southern California, Chance Theater recently won three Ovation Awards, including Best Production of a Musical – Intimate Theater, for its West Coast premiere of Triassic Parq – The Musical. The Chance also received an LADCC Award earlier this year for its reimagined revival of West Side Story. Twice named “Outstanding Arts Organization” by Arts Orange County, Chance Theater is also a recipient of the LADCC’s Polly Warfield Award for Excellence. Founded in 1999, Chance Theater is focused on its goal of being Orange County’s premiere mid-size contemporary theater. As a constituent member of Theatre Communications Group, Network of Ensemble Theaters, and the LA Stage Alliance, Chance Theater continues to bring national attention to the Southern California and Orange County theater scenes.
