We hope that you have had a chance to experience the excitement and beauty of El Campanil Theatre. This wonderful center for the performing arts in Eastern Contra Costa County is making a difference. People weary from the commute are pleased that there is a place where they can enjoy - "Quality Music and Entertainment - Close To Home". Others from beyond East County have come to see a number of exciting performers such as Debbie Reynolds, The Kingston Trio, The Limeliters, Jesse Colin Young, and Randy Newman among others.
If you know how community theatres and similar projects operate, you know that ticket sales cover only about half the costs of running the theatre. El Campanil Theatre Preservation Foundation relies on donations from its patrons and sponsors to keep producing quality and diverse productions for the community.
El Campanil Theatre Preservation Foundation is a California Non-Profit Charitable Organization 501(c) 3.
Our Corporate ID is: C2466562
