About Us Contra Costa Civic Theatre 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.¿¿¿
Contra
Costa
Civic
Theatre
is
proud
to
be
an
independent,
self-sufficient
organization.
The
theater
and
its
programs
are
supported
by
the
San
Francisco
Foundation,
California
Arts
Council,
The
Ed.
Fund,
box
office
sales,
tuition
fees
and
donations.
However,
the
community
is
responsible
for
its
formation
and
consequential
success.
Volunteers
continue
to
be
instrumental
in
all
facets
of
CCCT¿¿¿s
programming.
Similarly,
numerous
businesses
and
social
organizations
have
supported
the
theater
throughout
its
long
history.
What
started
out
as
a
small
local
theater
has
grown
into
a
source
of
pride
for
the
county
of
Contra
Costa
and
the
entire
East
Bay.
CCCT
hopes
to
continue
fulfilling
its
mission
in
new
and
creative
ways
for
generations
to
come.
The
Contra
Costa
Civic
Theatre
is
a
leader
in
on-stage
training
for
children
and
young
adults.

CCCT,

theater¿¿¿s
youth
program

drama
and
