Welcome!I hear this question a lot: “How do I get the best seats at the best price?”

My answer is always the same. Subscribe to the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre and you will be the first to receive advance show information as well as ticket offers and contest details. It really is the easiest way to ensure you get the best seat in the house.

This fall, our line-up includes more of the biggest names in the performing arts today, such as Ziggy Marley, Jesse Cook, and Terri Clark. And I can promise you, even bigger names in the spring, which when you subscribe, you will be one of the first to know about. Our subscribers enjoyed early bird discounted tickets to Ziggy Marley and advanced seat selection to Terri Clark.

Our dance series features the much anticipated return of Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal to Cowichan. With the largest stage on Vancouver Island, dance productions are beautifully accommodated here. On our stage, dancers have the space to move freely and can do justice to the talent of the choreographers.

These shows will sell out, so plan to buy your tickets early. To subscribe and for more information on upcoming presentations, visit our website cowichanpac.ca. We add new shows all year long so keep checking our website.

COWICHAN PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE PRESENTS

This highly-acclaimed documentary brilliantly captures the life story of Giuseppe Marinoni. We follow this inspirational man who found his calling when he transitioned from champion cyclist to master bike craftsman. But after years hunched over toxic fumes, his passion almost killed him. Today, at age 75, Marinoni is back in top shape and has decided to attempt the world hour record for his age group – all on a bike he built with his own hands almost 40 years ago.
