About Cascade Theatre

The Cascade Theatre stands as Redding's crown jewel of entertainment, a beautifully restored Art Deco theatre that has been captivating audiences since 1935. Originally built as a movie palace during the golden age of cinema, this historic venue has evolved into Northern California's premier destination for live entertainment.

After extensive renovations completed in 2004, the Cascade Theatre reopened its doors with modern amenities while preserving its original 1930s charm. The theatre's stunning Art Deco architecture, complete with ornate ceiling details and vintage lighting, creates an intimate and elegant atmosphere for every performance.

With 736 seats arranged in orchestra and balcony levels, the Cascade offers excellent sightlines and acoustics for every guest. The venue hosts over 100 events annually, ranging from nationally touring musicians and Broadway-style productions to local community performances and private events.

Performance Variety

The Cascade Theatre's diverse programming ensures there's something for every taste. The venue regularly hosts touring musicians across all genres, from rock and country to jazz and classical. Comedy shows featuring both established and emerging comedians keep audiences laughing throughout the year.

Theatre productions include both professional touring companies and local productions, offering everything from classic plays to contemporary works. The venue also serves as home to several local performing arts organizations and hosts special events like film screenings and community gatherings.
