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.
