Coaster Theatre Playhouse - We loved it! - Performing Arts Near Me - Cannon Beach, Oregon

Just the fact that Cannon Beach has a theatre company, I'll give them 5 stars! it isn't really surprising since this is definitely an artist community, but still, for a small town, I'm impressed with the talent and grateful they exist. Yes, this is off, off Broadway but performances are wonderful! The talent and creativity impressive. Located amongst the charming shops and restaurants on S. Hemlock, you can create a magical day or weekend centered around the show. The theatre is cozy and comfortable and whether you are sitting up front or in the back, they are all good seats. If you prefer premium, it's a mere $5 more. Over the years I've seen Steel Magnolias, Beauty and the Beast and several other Shows. I'm bummed that I didn't get tickets to Clue, the Musical, but none of the dates worked for my schedule. 2022 is the 50th Anniversary for Coaster Theatre Playhouse! Congratulations! With the support of the community and visitors, I'm sure they will celebrate another successful 50 years! read more

Coaster Theatre Playhouse - Outside - Performing Arts Near Me - Cannon Beach, Oregon

See all

Comfortable, intimate and cozy theater on the main street of Cannon Beach. We purchased the tickets for "Living On Love" on line and had amazing third row center seats for a fun lighthearted two hour stage play with 6 talented local actors playing their final show of the season to a full house. The 15 minute intermission allowed time for a bathroom break (men's restroom was clean) and also offered the opportunity to purchase cookies and refreshments. No wine or beer was available. Parking was convenient and plenty of dinner options within walking distance. read more

My wife and I have seen several plays here and are never disappointed. It can be difficult to get tickets on line and for us usually requires a phone call or two, but it always works out. Plus, it's a great excuse to drive to the coast! The Coaster Theatre is a small but comfortable venue. We don't always get to see what we want for a variety of reasons, but thoroughly enjoy the plays we do get to see. It's a special treat for us and I highly recommend it for anyone that enjoys live theater. Trust me, you won't be sorry. read more

Gem! Gold mine! Hello? Go here. Beach theatre? Yeah. No brainier. Go here. You know off Broadway? Well this is off off. Saw Clue the musical. Dottie De Vine steals the show. Wish I could have seen Steel Magnolias. Maybe next summer. read more

We have seen two plays here over the past couple of years. Beauty and the Beast and just saw It's a wonderful Life. The theater is in good condition and the seats are reasonably priced. We have opted for the premium seats both times which was $5 more a seat which puts in the front rows. No matter where you sit there is not a bad seat, however I really like being so close to the stage it's immersive. Both plays were very entertaining and done very well. Community Theater folks do this for the love because they generally do not get paid. The venue is run very professionally and is very clean. I should mention both plays we saw were in December, a slower time in Cannon Beach, but were sold out both times. There is definitely a lot of support for this theater . If your hanging out in Cannon Beach for a stay you should go to one of their shows. You will enjoy it. read more

When in Cannon Beach we always have to catch a show here. An intimate theater with amazing actors and actresses, never a dull moment. I love this place. Do yourself a favor and see a show here. So much fun. read more

The theatre just had a bit of a shake-up at their leadership level and now has a new leader and some new voices at the helm. It is sad to see talent, wisdom, and skill walk away, but the show must go on. I am hopeful that the "theatre family" will weather this well, and not let pettiness and immaturity get in the way of productions. The drama should been seen and felt onstage, not in the house. I am pretty objective, as I know quite a few of the actors and behind the scenes folks, don't get involved in gossip, nor rumours, and try to see all sides of the issues at hand. The mood was tense, but I think in time, folks will grow and move on. Patrick Lathrop is a very qualified actor and leader with vision. Listening to his ideas for the future of the theatre was encouraging. Watching him, and his wheels spin as he was making notes to himself was even more inspiring. I sense great things are coming, and I wish him all of the best and will support this great community theatre all that I can. The Coaster doesn't fall into the trappings of "touristy schlock" like the "other guys". Granted those type of shows are fun in moderation, and a franchise, but it hinders the artistic vision and takes production time away from having more variety and higher caliber theatre. Just saw Around the World in 80 Days, and can say that I was more than impressed with the performance and the actors. Todd Payne, was brilliantly cast as the lead, and Juan Lira III, is an amazing comic side-kick, and physical actor. Lots of laughs, especially from Richard Bowman, who took on many characters with skill and provided comic relief throughout. ALL OF THE ACTORS are amazing folks in their own right. VERY DEDICATED, talented, funny, supportive, and do something that takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. I love community theatre and its vibe. Support these wonderful folks and the arts. Prices are decent, and the "talk back" shows are a great way to experience the art of the show. read more

My husband and I have had season tickets to the CB Coaster Theatre playhouse since 2008 and we have been very impressed with the local talent and creativity. We just came from the Theatre after seeing Noises Off. Neither of us had heard of the play but it was HILARIOUS! It was well casted and had lots of physicality and humor. I would highly recommend it! The Coaster Theatre was recently renovated, it has comfortable seats (not a bad seat in the house) and refreshments are offered at the intermission. Check your their website for the current calendar of events. read more

Awesome job tonight ladies!! We saw Steel Magnolias this evening and the all female cast was outstanding! Very enjoyable and true to the original story. Such a small quaint venue. Makes you feel like you're part of the action. If you're looking for something different to do one evening when you're visiting Cannon Beach I highly recommend checking them out. read more

How could I forget to post a review from December?!? Shame on me. I bought 8 tickets as soon as they became available for the Christmas Carole the musical. We have fond memories of years ago regularly attending the play The Christmas Carole, then the combination of Oliver and the Christmas Carole.... oh my the dancing on barrels!!! I was ecstatic the play was coming back! I wanted my granddaughters to experience this play like their mom and aunt when they were little. I was disappointed the costumes were nothing like before.. and the sets were disappointing and plain. However, the singing had some powerful talent! We had a good time, but even my daughters were disappointed. Even if the play comes back, Not sure if the play will be family tradition again... read more

.."And Then There Were Nine" -worst theater performance that we have ever seen. To keep live theater alive, quality of performers, energy, blocking, must be significantly improved. It's a shame since we really do want to support local theater. read more

We have been coming every summer for about 20 years, even before our kids reached the age of irony. We all enjoyed it then and still do.

No bad seat in the house. Saw Beauty and The Beast. It is local artists, but II is something fun for everyone to enjoy.

We were shocked to find this nice little theatre in tiny Cannon Beach, we saw the play "Strange Snow" on a Saturday night and were suprised at how well done this play was, the acting was as good as expected from a small town, in fact better than I expected, the set was great and the theatre itself was very nice, there is no bad seat in there. It is right no Hemlock within walking distance from the local pubs and resteraunts too! I highly recommend if you are in town for a vacation weekend to get to a show! read more
