Blue Room Theatre offers theatrical works for the entire community, including productions for children, young adults, and adult audiences. It has been voted Chico's best theatre company for the past five years, and they've just completed extensive upgrading. Increased seating capacity, enhanced sound and visual presentation, a three-quarter thrust style stage, and a new color scheme have added greatly to the ambiance.

Chico Cabaret was founded by Phil and Sue Ruttenburg and had developed an excellent reputation for bring well-produced musicals, comedies and award-winning dramas to the community. Chico Cabaret was voted "Best Performing Arts Company" in 2006 by CN&R readers. The Cabaret also features an intimate atmosphere with table seating perfect for a romantic evening, large groups for family, friends, or business gatherings. Visit their website and come experience what everyone is talking about.

Chico Theatre Company opened in 2003 in the 244-seat former Eaton Road Opera House location. The theatre plans six musicals a year, and jazz groups will perform before the show begins.

Laxson Auditorium celebrated her 70th birthday in 2001. Always a grand architectural treasure of Romanesque style (can't imagine the campus without that building just as it's sat from the beginning), its national and international entertainment offerings seem to only get better every year!
