Love this place. Classic movies, concerts... and more. Spend some time and support them.

The stage

It's a beautiful art deco theatre that reminds me of the Paramount in Oakland, but smaller. The place feels intimate and small town. The surrounding area is right by the marina with excellent restaurants.

Don't expect the latest Dolby THX surround sound but this Theatre is a beautiful place to watch live performances. Their seats are comfortable, clean, and their acoustics are nice. At night time when the exterior lights up, it's beautiful...

I couldn't believe that this great Antioch establishment was missing from Yelp! This theatre has been around since 1928 for heaven's sake! Instantly, I knew I had to add it. This theatre, like many other Antioch establishments, dates back to my childhood. I remember when I was taking ballet lessons at the Delta Ballet Academy (http://www.yelp.com/biz/delta-ballet-academy-antioch), we would usually have our recitals in the Antioch Community Center. But once, only once, when my teacher announced we were having a performance here that was open to the public, my heart leaped! I was about 8 or 9. I knew this was a big deal, and my excitement to perform at a bigger venue foreshadowed my current passion to perform on stage. Over the years, El Camp has seen its fair shares of rough times when they were forced to shut down due to financial reasons. But after a major restoration project in 2003, business (non-profit to boot) has been booming since! I've seen numerous movies here including To Kill a Mockingbird and It's a Wonderful Life (my dad's all time fav). I've also seen numerous performances here including world renowned Hawaiian slack key guitarist Keola Beamer. Other notable performers who have performed at the El Campanil: The Three Stooges Debbie Reynolds Roy Rogers with his horse Trigger Sally Rand - Fan Dancer Usherettes Edgar Bergen Donald O'Connor Ted Lewis Al Jolson Gene Autry The Limeliters I'm thankful this place is around for people to enjoy. What a wonderful venue that's here for stay!

Someone smashed the window in the front? Homeless situation is very destructive. Makes me concerned about my safety.

I have taken the online yoga and adult ballet classes. Ms. Sarah and Ms. Sharon are great teachers…read more They are really calm and move with the flow of the class. I really appreciate their patience as I am new to both types of classes but being home a lot, I know I needed to keep my body moving. I always feel pretty calm after either class I take. Payment is also super easy. Love the Venmo option! I've never had any issues. I follow Pittsburg Performing Arts on Instagram and I like how they update any schedule changes really quickly. Helps me plan my weekly schedule! Also, when I send a message via Instagram, I always get a response within the day if not a couple of hours. Great experience!

My daughter has been taking dance lessons in ballet, lyrical/jazz, and hip hop here for about 2…read moreyears now. Every instructor she's had has brought out the best in her and has inspired her to do more in dance. The lessons she's learned here go way beyond how to plié or jeté. With the help of the instructors here, she's learned to come out of her shell, to work with a team, and to perform. The director Miss Sharon's love of dance and of her community is infectious and that feeling trickles down to everyone else who works there. Miss Brittany, who manages the studio, is always easy to reach and is very thorough when answering any questions you may have. Miss Celine, Miss Jessica, Miss Jeannette, and Mr. Ricky have all taught my daughter and each one of them has challenged her to dance better while having fun. If you're thinking about putting your child in dance or even if you'd like to dance yourself, I would highly recommend you give Pittsburg Performing Arts Academy a try. You just might love it like we do!

The Music Director Kevin warmly and patiently builds the student's musical understanding and performances. His contribution keeps musical standards high and performances enjoyable. The Business Director/Producer Rachel adds the no nonsense behind the scenes taking care of business ballast for all this creativity. We are grateful for her expertise to keep SingOut thriving.
