  • CCPA Staging says:

    Glad to hear this fantastic line up.

    CCPA parking lot still remain spooky, dark /overgrown; Very dark for performances at night. Sad sad sad time, when Cerritos is known for his oversized residential lots with RV pads, the city cannot even provide RV parking for the patrons who use CCPA. Many large road performers play at these venues, using large luxury motorhomes and limousines, and there’s no parking or staging, even though there’s a lot of unused space around the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.

    Cities which use CCPA: Yorba Linda, Laguna, Pasadena, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, Encino, Newport. Patrons demand more then Mimmi and Arte cafe and dark parking lots?????

    When are the satellite theaters going to be built around the perimeter of the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts?

    Hello councilperson, CCPA needs more 5 star restaurants + dancing and poss. some lite soft gambling. CCPA has not captured the after hrs entertainment, ticket users of the CCPA are fleeing Cerritos to other close by areas, for after hr entertainment. Entire area surrounding the CCPA looks vacant and lifeless. No wow factor.

    You may be interested in viewing my videos I put together, past 60 yrs of Cerritos. Little Artesia and La Palma photos too, not many. . Let me know what you think. Aprox 750 slides.
