Blue Room History
|
 |
|
 |
|
| | The Blue Room Theatre was started by a group of theatre artists who went by the name of The Cosmic Travel Agency. The five actors did children's puppet shows in libraries, schools and cafes. | |

| | The Founders: (from left to right) Tommy La Mere, Heather Carnduff, Daniel Kowta, Denver Latimer and Leesa Palmer | |
|
|
| | After performing their first full length play, Out in the World, for packed houses at a local jazz club, they decided to find a permanent space which turned out to be an abandoned Masonic Temple located above Collier's Hardware in downtown Chico which was christened "The Blue Room." | |

|
|
| | Over the next several years the theatre wrestled with its artistic identity, doing many original plays, some contemporary American playwrights like Vogel, McNally, Mamet and Margueleis, and a lot of classic modernist authors like Beckett, Brecht, Frisch, Cocteau, Ghelderhode, etc. Today it maintains its founding members goal of providing the community with original works and diverse plays that inspire, create cognitive interplay, and stimulate conversation.
Several festivals and series have been produced through the years, including Bloomsday, The Raymond Carver Festival, Le Grande Guignol, The Twilight Zone Live, and Passengers on the Bus. | |
