Pictured left to right: Casey Long and Erika Miller, Chance Theater and Pam Finn, Chief Operations Manager and Richard Lee, Vice President of Lending, presenting Small Business Development Corporation of Orange County's $2,500 grant donation to support the theater's 20th anniversary season and home of its new Bette Aitken Theater Arts Center. It has been an exciting journey since 1999, when a handful of young artists opened their first theater on La Palma Avenue in Anaheim. The founders believed that theatergoers deserved an alternative theater experience -- one that would focus on local artists, new plays, and strengthening community through the impact of live theater.
