Chance Theater — Attraction in Anaheim

Do not take a "Chance" on this theater!!! Staff was rude from the moment we entered the door. I took the family as part of their Christmas gift with 4 children. I thought this would be good family fun for all. We drove over an hour. We saw "The Secret Garden" matinee. Our smallest child was enjoying the show, when he started to fuss I promptly took him out. We came back in after about 10 minutes and he was quiet and continued to enjoy. Before the end of the first act, I was tapped on the shoulder and the woman from the ticket counter said, "You need to come with me". Not knowing why I had to leave, I followed with our youngest and my fiance. She told us that we had to leave and that there had been complaints from the cast and the stage manager about our child, NOT from the patrons. The only thing that was said to me by the woman seated next to me was how cute my son is. When we questioned that the people complaining were not patrons, she said "the patrons were looking at us". How would she know, she was at the ticket counter as I saw her there when I came out before. They were unapologetic and rude. I got a partial refund and left with our youngest. If they have an age range policy it should be clearly stated so I never would've made the unfortunate trek here in the first place. Merry Christmas was more like Bah Humbug! Secondly, I have made a career in the arts and am writing under a pseudonym. Whilst performing on stage, one must disregard the "fourth wall". These actors are doing a musical in a strip mall, not Hamlet...

Simply put- The owners despise children. Please do not reward these people with your business, especially if you are a parent. We brought our small child to a CHILD'S PLAY (Secret Garden), bought him a ticket, and when he got a little fussy- once- we took him outside. When we brought him back he was fine for 20 minutes, until an employee tapped us on the shoulder and said- "You need to come with me right now". Puzzled, we walked with her. She said she had received complaints about our child. Upon really digging- it was HER OWN STAFF that complained. Not a single patron. They kicked out our little one and offered us a "partial refund"! They take themselves way too seriously and they are bad people, and intolerant of children. Don't sell tickets to a child's play- to a child- and then throw him out for being a child. Please stay away from Chance...

Very small theater for plays but well worth going here to see one. Went to see “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and I was totally amused and enjoyed this place and play. You are very up close and they did such a great job that it makes you feel like you are right on the stage. The players all did a wonderful job acting. The props were just really incredible for such a small theater. They have a small bar we’re you can get a drink of anything from hot coca to alcohol and a small snack and they allow you to take insIde while you watch the play. We will return to see another one sometIme as I really like these “little”...
