Paradise Performing Arts Center

 RETURN TO TOP

Located at 777 Nunneley Road, the Paradise Performing Arts Center presents a wide variety of live entertainment.  From Broadway to ballet, classical to country, symphonies to sing-a-longs it all can be seen at PPAC.  While presenting a full season of international and national touring acts PPAC is also home to several local arts groups, including Northern California Ballet and the Paradise Symphony Orchestra and hosts local events throughout the season at Gold Nugget Days, Cruisin' Paradise and Johnny Appleseed Days.
    
Built entirely by community donations the $3.5 Million facility has 762 seats, state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, a 40x40 stage with full Orchestra pit and excellent acoustics.  A central location and ample parking make it the perfect destination for a night at the theatre.

Following a tour of PPAC, Jack Bogan of Bogan Associates, a theatre consulting firm, was heard to say "What you have here is The Jewel of the Foothills".  And so we do.
Theater on the Ridge

RETURN TO TOP

 The Theatre on the Ridge located at 3735 Neal Road, 530.877.5760, is the oldest nonprofit community theater north of Sacramento.

TOTR was founded in 1975 as an off-shoot of a children's program administered by the Paradise Recreation and Park District.  Originally producing one or two productions a year in the local gymnasium, TOTR expanded to its own location in September 1979.  The first season of regularly scheduled performances began in 1980 with four productions.

Over the years the season has evolved to the production of six shows annually.
