There are plenty of theatrics in Anaheim, although most of them seem to be employed by a large mouse and his crew. However, if you are in the mood for something more along the lines of actual theater, visit some of the live theaters located close to your Anaheim apartments. The big mouse won’t mind. Really. He might even be a little jealous.

Take a chance on Chance Theater, located about 2 miles from home. Some of the upcoming shows include “Little Women: The Broadway Musical”, “The Eight: Reindeer Monologues” and more. Located at 5552 East La Palma Avenue, give them a call at 714-777-3033 to find out more or to purchase tickets.

Another local theater is Stages Theater, situated about 5 miles away. Located at 400 East Commonwealth Avenue, Suite 4 in nearby Fullerton, this place has been going strong for 20 years. Upcoming shows include “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” and “American Buffalo”. Call 714-525-4484 to find out more or get tickets.

There is plenty of good entertainment in Anaheim but some of the best entertainment is found in local places near your Anaheim apartments. Get out there and enjoy some live, local theater.

Kids and families absolutely love Disney. In the United States, there are two locations for parents to let their children’s dreams come true. Everyone knows about Disney World, but some do not realize there is also a treasure in Anaheim, CA. Just minutes from The Crossing, a fantastic apartment community, is downtown Disney.

One of the biggest events at Disneyland each fall is Mickey’s Halloween Party. The party allows your children to trick-or-treat with healthy snacks, as well as candy, all while meeting his or her favorite characters. Parents can relax when it comes to money since they get free parking and potentially could save up to eighteen dollars per ticket. There are fireworks, food venders, and drinks available throughout the night.

Finally, after a long evening at the park, if you live at The Crossing Apartments, you do not have far to go before tucking tired, little kids into bed. If this sounds like your ideal time, then contact The Crossing to see what plans they have available for you. Your kids will undoubtedly love being less than twenty minutes from downtown Disney!
