The Bette Aitken Theater Arts Center includes the Cripe Stage, a black box theater with the ability to seat 150 patrons, and the Fyda-Mar Stage, a 50-seat fixed-seat theater, along with a stunning lobby, three dressing rooms (two for the Cripe Stage, one for the Fyda-Mar Stage), and a rehearsal space/classroom. It has solidified its reputation as one of the most dynamic, renowned, and well-equipped small venues in Orange County. This adaptable facility is available for rental throughout the year. Rates vary based on the season, rental duration, and the intended use of the space.
