Castro Valley Center For the Arts

Really lovely venue. Can’t really have a bad seat. Big stage, lots of room backstage, and the front reception area has room for vendors and even an area to set up prepared food. Easy parking. Lots of stalls in the ladies’ room. Only downside is the legroom for seating. Don’t be tall here LOL. Your whole row will need to stand up to let you get to your seat.

Armen’s musical «Cinderella» :)
Came here to watch my friend’s musical performance one night. Clean & spacious theatre. The musical was a great performance to watch.

I filmed a dance performance there last Saturday night, and I have filmed at CVCA for about five years. Consistently they have demonstrated professionalism behind the scenes. The staff accommodated my needs for audio from their board and they even offered to help me move my equipment.
The sound and lighting are spectacular, the seating is comfortable, security is well organized and even the parking is accessible.
The night before, I filmed in an unnamed facility in Oakland and had trouble with the «temporary staff» who gave me conflicting directions and the sound person who was not cooperative. The security staff hung around with one another and were not watching the dark pathways to the parking lot at the close of the event.
I highly recommend CVCA for organizations who offer performances.

I’ve been attending events at the CFA for nearly three years now, and I have yet to be disappointed! The building is brand new, well kept, and usually puts on very family oriented shows. It’s great for the high school kids to finally have a theatre such as this to put on their musicals, plays, and choir and band performances! They also put on great musicals and variety shows through Golden State Theatre Productions throughout the year! Support the arts and stop by, grab a seat, and enjoy the show!
