Welcome to the Camino Real Playhouse where stories come alive and the spotlight shines on local talent.
For over 36 years, our theatre has been a cultural cornerstone of San Juan Capistrano, dedicated to celebrating the performing arts and bringing our community together. From timeless classics to bold new productions, our stage is a place where creativity, passion, and community spirit thrive.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to enrich lives through the transformative power of live theatre. We strive to:
- Provide a welcoming space for performers, directors, designers, and volunteers of all ages and backgrounds.
- Offer affordable, high-quality productions that entertain, inspire, and connect.
- Nurture the next generation of artists through educational workshops, youth programs, and mentorship.
Our Community
Theatre is more than a performance—it’s a gathering place. Audiences come to laugh, cry, and dream together. Volunteers and artists collaborate to build something larger than themselves. Local businesses and patrons help keep the lights shining bright. Together, we’re building a cultural legacy for San Juan Capistrano.
Get Involved
Whether you’re an actor, a behind-the-scenes builder, a patron, or a first-time guest, there’s a place for you in our theatre family. We invite you to audition, volunteer, sponsor, or simply come enjoy a show. Every seat filled and every hand raised in support helps ensure the arts remain vibrant in our community
