Info

CCCT is a nonprofit community theater and one of only three live performing arts organizations with permanent homes in West Contra Costa County. Our mission is to provide affordable, high quality entertainment to residents throughout the East Bay and provide training in live performing arts for children and adults. CCCT was established in 1959 by Louis and Bettianne Flynn and a group of dedicated volunteers. It was originally located at Blake Street and San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito. In 1970, the City of El Cerrito approached the CCCT with a proposal to take over the defunct Boys Club building at Pomona Avenue and Moeser Lane (our current site). However, the building was just a shell with no stage area. Through fundraising efforts and personal loan, money was raised and construction began. Volunteers worked nonstop for nine months. The theater opened in July 1971 with the production of "Play It Again Sam."
