Studio C Alpha is a stage format that was installed in Chuck E. Cheese's locations from 1997-2002 and 2015.

History

The first reveal of the stage was at the Showbiz Pizza Time Corporate Office on October 3rd 1997.

The first locations to have Studio "C" were the Dallas, TX (13125 Montfort Dr) and Brookfield, WI (19125 W Blue Mound Rd) locations, Brookfield being the first to open with the show in December 1997, and the North Dallas, TX store being the first to have replaced an existing show.

Design and Features

This show was designed to look like a late-night talk show. Chuck E. Cheese takes center stage once again and is hosting his own late night show and is accompanied by Bird and on screen friends. Surrounding Chuck is a desk with five panels that light up to the music, around his stage consisted of animated props such as a pizza phone, clock, and boom mic. To the left of Chuck E. had a giant monitor with lighting surrounding it, below it was an Interactive Console with various elements and activities.

The Stage on the opposite side of Chuck E. consisted of a Bluescreen area with a camera in the front of it. Above it were 2 monitors that displayed what ever was in front of the Bluescreen overlaid onto a video.

For a select few locations, there was a coin operated Karaoke system with kiddie songs called the "Star Search" located in the Bluescreen area. This was a short lasted feature as it was only available from 1999 to 2000, and ended support in the 2000s.

Technical

The shows originally ran off of laserdisc but when it was proven that DVD is more efficient they eventually switched over to it in 1999.
Studio C ran off of a computer named "Cyberstar 2000"
