About Us
CHATS produces three shows per year, and we try to balance our program by performing at least one Australian work, one serious or experimental work, and one musical or comedy each year. We run regular play readings of new local works, and also 'classics' and shows we may want to produce. We try to involve young people when we can.
We have also presented many classics, including the only full length productions of Shakespeare ever performed in Coffs Harbour, including "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Hamlet".We have presented many amateur premieres of Australian works, including "Cloudstreet" and several David Williamson plays.
Community involvement is important to us; we have involved several 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. CHATS is a foundation member of ACCTS. (The Association of Coffs Community Theatre Societies)
