The Chico Cabaret is a not-for-profit community theater located in Chico, California. The theater opened its doors on January 19th, 2001, with its first show The Emperor's New Clothes[1]. Since then, the theater has specialized in professional-quality comedic plays and musicals[2]. The Chico Cabaret is under the Artistic Direction of Phil Ruttenburg.
Originally opening as a dinner theater, the Chico Cabaret began gaining attention for its provocative choice in performances, such as an annual Halloween performance of the Rocky Horror Show, a seductive Summer series of The Best of Broadway, and the recurring original sketch comedy show The Crippling Thoughts of Victor Bonesteel[3]. The dinner was ultimately removed from the program in order to make room for additional seating.
In 2005, the Chico Cabaret was granted status as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization[4]. The theater plays host to A Theatre On The Inside-Out[5], a program developed to provide local teens with the opportunity to write & perform for the purposes of drug prevention, education, and outreach to the community, as well as to Drama Extraordinaire[6], a performing arts workshop for children with developmental disabilities.
