Welcome to the Plaza Playhouse Theater!

It is the mission of the Theater to be a venue that is the center of arts and entertainment for the entire Carpinteria Valley community. A place where young and old can express their artistic talent in music, dance and theatre and also to enjoy what the world of entertainment has to offer. We endeavor to be a place that Carpinterians can proudly call their own.

On April 27, 1928 the Alcazar Theater opened at 4916 Carpinteria Avenue thanks to the vision of builder Henry J. Muller and the theater manager, Oliver Prickett. Although passing through the stewardship of several proprietors through the years, the dream to create a venue that is the center of arts and entertainment for the entire Carpinteria Valley community is still alive 85 years later in what is now the Plaza Playhouse Theater. read more >>
