Chance Theater is an intimate theater that tells big stories. Chance is the only theater in Orange County with an artistic director of color, a majority staff of women or BIPOC. Our core belief is, theater is like a “gym for empathy” where community members go to build the muscles of compassion and engage with people unlike themselves. Our mission is to contribute to a more connected, compassionate, and creative community. We do this by: producing powerful, socially-conscious, provocative, intimate theater experiences; generating participation and dialogue between diverse communities; nurturing and supporting local artists; inspiring and empowering creative young minds.
