  What was once a high school auditorium is now a beautifully renovated theater for a wide variety of shows, events, lectures, and ceremonies. It is located on the site of the Campbell Community Center and is the former Campbell High School. The architect, William Weeks, designed many buildings in the county in this same Spanish Colonial Revival style including Fremont High School in Sunnyvale and the former Camden High School in the Cambrian area of San Jose. The community and the city worked together to secure the funds through many fundraising activities and had opening ceremonies in 2004. Seating is all new, balcony is small but fun to sit in, and be sure to check out the beautiful ceilings that are replicated as best they could to the past originals. Over the past 10 years I've been here for many events including the kick off for the annual Silicon Valley Reads that brings local and nationally recognized authors to discuss their book(s) chosen. I've been to many varied events as well such as: singing performances, comedy show, funeral, and I see that they host on a regular basis the naturalization/citizenship ceremony. One of the best features of the theater are the two large ponds in front that have the most beautiful individually handmade glass balls that are tethered to the bottom. They appear to be floating but they are strongly secured. Parking is so easy and very close but if its a big event, come early as the community center is very heavily used.

  We have gone to shows at the Heritage Theater in Campbell, Ca. It is a historic theatre. I like the fun decorative pools (2 of them) that are in front of the theater. Parking is in a free lot by the the theater. Box office is by the front door to Heritage Theater. We usually check the web site to see what shows are coming up. There are a few each season. However its periodic, so worth checking if a performance is going on. Its also good to purchase tickets in advance.
