The Coaster Theatre Playhouse is committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy environment for our patrons, staff, volunteers and anyone else who visits the theatre. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep our patrons informed via this page, Facebook and our email newsletter of any changes. This page will be updated as new information is available during this unprecedented time.

Community created the Coaster Theatre Playhouse and with the help and support of our wonderful community we will weather this storm currently gripping our nation and the world.
The Coaster Theatre Board of Directors and staff have made the difficult decision to close the Coaster Theatre to the public through May. Our currently scheduled performances of Play On! and Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks have been cancelled, and we are looking at rescheduling these shows for a later date. We have also made the difficult decision to cancel both our summer shows, Monty Python’s Spamalot and Guilty Conscience and are working on alternative options for the summer. The volunteer appreciation party scheduled for Sunday, April 5 has also been cancelled.
We are taking these steps now to help ensure that the Coaster Theatre will continue to be a hub of the community and performing arts experiences in Cannon Beach. For over 45 years generations have grown up both on and off stage at our theatre and we can’t wait to welcome current and future generations of Coaster Theatre volunteers, supporters and patrons back to the theatre.
If you have tickets to a cancelled performance, they can be exchanged for a later performance or show within our 2020 season, and any change fees will be waived. If you are unable to make another performance within our 2020 season, we will refund tickets to any cancelled performance or hold as a credit to be used later.
If you would like to support the theatre during this difficult time, please consider donating your ticket(s) as a tax-deductible gift to the Coaster Theatre.
Our box office is currently closed, but we are checking messages and replying to emails to assist with exchanges and returns. You can call and leave a message at 503-436-1242 or email us at boxoffice(at)coastertheatre.com. Please be patient with us as we expect some heavy activity over the next few days and will get to everyone as soon as we can.
No one could have imagined what is currently happening to our global society or the impact this will have on arts organizations like the Coaster Theatre Playhouse. If you are able, we are asking that you support the Coaster Theatre through donations or our Take-A-Seat program (email us at info(at)coastertheatre.com for more information) to help us weather this financial storm.
Thank you for your continued support,
Coaster Theatre Staff & Board of Directors

With new information and the recent statements of Governor Kate Brown the Coaster Theatre Playhouse has made the decision to postpone the opening night of our spring show Play On! until Friday, April 3. At this time we are also postponing auditions for our summer musical Monty Python’s Spamalot and summer play Guilty Conscience. Our 2020 Coaster Theatre Kidz Spring Break Camp has been cancelled. More information and scheduling details will be available soon.
This decision does not come lightly as we’re a non-profit theater that relies on ticket sales for much of our operating budget. Our first priority is to keep our staff, volunteers and patrons safe during this time.
If you have tickets to a canceled performance these can be exchanged for a later performance or show within our 2020 season. If you are unable to make another performance within our 2020 season, we will refund tickets to any cancelled performance.
If you would like to support the theatre during this difficult time, please consider donating your ticket(s) as a tax-deductible gift to the Coaster Theatre.
Thank you,
Coaster Theatre Staff & Board of Directors
