Chance Theater

Founded in 1998 by artistic director Oanh Nguyen and friends as a company that would provide an alternative theatrical experience for the residents of Orange County, the Chance Theater has produced over 100 plays and musicals in its 10-year existence, including 36 world premieres and 5 West Coast premieres. The Chance has blossomed into one of the OC's most prolific and eclectic small companies, programming a mix of familiar titles, previously unseen works and classics, and in the process earning honors such as the 2007 LADCC Polly Warfield Award for Excellence.
