CHANCE THEATER: In ten short years, The Chance Theater has grown from coffeehouse obscurity to a nationally recognized theater company. In 1998, founders Oanh Nguyen, Erika C. Miller, Jeff Hellebrand, and others set out to found a theatre company that would provide an alternative theatrical experience for the residents of Orange County. Ten years later, the company has produced over 100 plays and musicals including 36 world premieres, 5 West Coast premieres, 2 Southern California premieres, and 13 Orange County premieres. The theatre has received numerous institutional and individual artist awards, countless "Critic's Pick" designations, and tremendous support from its ever-growing patron base for its high level of artistry and world-class educational programs.

"We wanted to see intimate quality theatre in our community," says Founding Artistic Director Oanh Nguyen. "So we set out to make it happen."

For its 10th Anniversary Season in 2008, The Chance is excited to be participating in The Festival of New American Musicals, a state-wide two-month celebration of musical theatre, with its Orange County premiere production of The Brain From Planet X and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winner Rabbit Hole which can be purchased online at Stubdog.com.
