Located at 125 South 7th Street, the historic Ebell Club building (built 1917) houses a lively season of main-stage productions, Backstage performances, and special events like PlayZapPalooza and the SP Film Festival. The venue sits within the city's charming historic core and is part of Santa Paula’s cultural fabric, maintained by a dedicated community theatre team. SPTC moved to this NRHP-listed site in 1987 and continues to host engaging performances in a space with deep local character.
