Studio C Cappa (known officially as Small Town Studio C by corporate) is a Studio C stage that was introduced in July 2003 and was installed in smaller Chuck E. Cheese locations. It is a downsized and cheaper version of "Studio C Beta".

The original version of the Cappa had a mirror background behind Chuck E. Cheese. This version of the Cappa would only be produced in Summer 2003 and was installed in seven locations: Waco, Texas (Now 2.0), Joplin, Missouri, Holland, Michigan (now closed), Grand Junction, Colorado (now closed), Jackson, Tennessee, Goldsboro, North Carolina, and Muskegon, Michigan (now closed).

The final Studio C Cappa store to open was New Hartford, New York in October 2006. After that, Studio C Betas would continue to be produced until 2012.

As of October 2023, 19 Studio C Cappas remain in operation, all in the United States.

About the Stage[]

The stage features three TV screens and underneath them is a small Chuck E. Cheese sign. Below that is a wide blue screen. The stage has the cheaper 16-movement Chuck E. Cheese animatronic. There are no curtains, as curtains were discontinued at around this point in time. There are very few lights, and most locations with this stage have Chuck E. Cheese wearing a red hat, a blue shirt with a yellow C, and gray khaki shorts. In 2010, with the discontinuation of the blue screen, a mural was also offered for replacing the screen.
