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 our email list from our website at cowichanpac.ca or sign-up via our Facebook page @CowichanPAC. I'll save you a seat!
