Our Next Show...
Loves Labours Won
Loves Labours Won remains a secret piece of Shakespeare’s plays. Listed to have been performed in 1598. However, there is no play with that title that we know of as published today. The theory is that ‘Loves Labours Won’ is the early title of a play that we now know by another name. Because many of Shakespeare’s plays had not been published by 1598, there are only a few plays that could have been known by this early title. Different scholars have suggested ‘Much Ado about Nothing’ as the modern identity of the missing ‘Won’.

About Us
CHATS Productions Inc has been staging amateur performances in Coffs Harbour and surrounds since 1982. CHATS produces three shows each year and we try to balance the program by performing at least one Australian work, one dramatic or experimental work and one comedy or small ensemble musical each year.
CHATS has presented many amateur premieres of Australian works including Cloudstreet and several David Williamson plays.
We encourage community involvement is important to us and we have involved many local groups in our productions including Coffs Harbour Writers Group, The Julie Ross Dancers, Anglicare, Refugee Support Group, P.C.Y.C. and many others. We strive to support and foster young actors using the decades of experience and talent amongst our members as well as outside courses and training.
