Welcome
                     Welcome to our 40th anniversary
                     season! In February 1979, the (then
                     named) Cowichan Theatre, held
                     its first performance. Vancouver
                     Island had never seen such a well-
                     planned, spacious venue with
                     wide rows of seats and plenty of
                     legroom, generous dressing rooms
for performers and the largest stage in BC next to the
Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver. The biggest
names in music and theatre have graced this stage
since then: Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah McLachlan, k.d. lang,
Diana Krall, Gordon Lightfoot, the Barenaked Ladies and
the Royal Winnipeg Ballet to name a few.
Forty years later, the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre
(CPAC) continues to host some of the biggest names
in entertainment world-wide and is one of the busiest
theatres in western Canada earning an esteemed
reputation of a destination theatre.
This fall you will see a refreshed interior with new carpet
and paint and we even have a new phone number
250.746.CPAC (2722). Check out our fall/winter line-up
of fan favourites and buy your tickets early because many
of these shows will sell out fast! For season ticket deals
and advance ticket buying opportunities, subscribe to

I'll save you a seat!
