Aurora Arts Theatre (AAT) is proud to celebrate 15 years of live theatre. Since opening its doors in January 2010, Aurora Arts Theatre has been a cornerstone for celebrating live theatre in the Coastal Bend. Founded by Ed Chapa, AAT has thrived under the leadership of his wife, Mary Chapa, following his passing in 2011. Eds passion for the arts and his vision for establishing a community theatre on the southside of Corpus Christi inspired all who knew him. The theatres name honors Ed's mom, Aurora "Loli" Chapa Taylor, a South Texas native with a profound love for the arts. AATs inaugural production, Nunsense, marked the beginning of a legacy that continues to flourish. Since then, the theatre has welcomed more than 200,000 patrons, produced over 87 shows, and worked with thousands of passionate volunteer actors. One hallmark of AATs productions is the inclusion of a live band for every musicala cherished tradition since its founding. As AAT commemorates its 15th anniversary in 2025, the mission remains steadfast: to provide high-quality theatre experiences in a warm, inclusive environment.
