Production Company of the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, and a non-profit theatre organization. For over three decades, Cabrillo has been enriching the cultural life of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties and the surrounding areas by providing an extraordinary performing arts experience through live, Broadway-quality productions of musical theatre. It is Cabrillo's mission to provide the highest quality musical experience, to foster educational opportunities, and to promote cultural and artistic enrichment to enhance the quality of life in Southern California. To this end, Cabrillo Music Theatre has established the ADOPT-A-SCHOOL, ADOPT-A-SENIOR, Animal Rescue Program, and PET (Project Entertainment Troops) OUTREACH programs.

Cabrillo makes live theatre accessible to children, seniors, and active military members who otherwise may never have the opportunity to experience a live musical theatre performance. Cabrillo's ANIMAL RESCUE PROGRAM, instituted during Cabrillo's 2009 production of CATS, raises funds and awareness for homeless and abused dogs and cats.
