Arts Off Broadway is a community theatre unique to San Diego's North County in that it sprung from roots as a youth theatre, exploded with success as a community theatre and then reinstituted its youth program so that entire families can enjoy theatrical experiences together in an environment that nurtures creativity and positive values.
In the spring of 2001, Escondido residents Don & Marie Verger purchased property, which became the home of an after-school arts education program. "Hansel & Gretel" became the program's first production, followed by "Cinderella", "The Wizard of Oz", and a long string of successful shows, which filled theatres throughout the Escondido, Poway and Valley Center areas.
In spring of 2008, Arts Off Broadway was officially launched as a community theatre with a production featuring an adult cast, "Little Shop of Horrors", at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido (CCAE). Productions at the CCAE that followed include "Kiss Me Kate", "Peter Pan", "Urinetown" (which commanded an encore performance) and most recently, "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying".
The 2010 productions will pilot a new concept for our theatre group. While producing our regular community show with all ages, we will concurrently produce the same show as a junior version. We have seen this concept work with other theatre groups and really appreciate the way this will help us maintain high quality productions while continuing to provide the benefits for all ages to experience the craft of theatre arts. Our seasoned artists will have the opportunity to mentor and nurture the talent in our youth.
