South Coast Theater Company To Close

A more than two decade old theater company on the South Coast announced the curtain will come down on it for the final time at the end of this season.

Thousand Oaks based Cabrillo Music Theater will present the final two shows of the current season, “Children of Eden” and “The Little Mermaid,” and then close. The non-profit organization presented everything from musical classics to more contemporary fare during its 22 year long history.

Cabrillo’s Board of Directors cited a number of factors for the decision, ranging from slumping ticket sales to higher production costs. In a statement, the company says one of the biggest issues is the cost of using the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza for its shows, and financial conditions tied to using the city-owned facility.

All advance payments for the now cancelled 2016-2017 season will be refunded.
