CHATS Productions Inc has been staging amateur performances in Coffs Harbour and surrounds since 1982. CHATS produces three shows each year and we try to balance the program by performing a variety of plays featuring dramatic, comedic or small ensemble musical each year.​

CHATS has presented many amateur premieres of Australian works including David Williamson plays and Cloudstreet.

​We encourage community involvement and we have involved many local groups in our productions including Coffs Harbour Writers Group, The Julie Ross Dancers, Anglicare and many others. We strive to support and foster young actors using the decades of experience and talent amongst our members as well as outside courses and training.

We also encourage people to come and learn the technical side of theatre such as lighting and sound in our Jetty Memorial Theatre.
