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

Marinoni – The Fire
in the Frame
Saturday,
September 17
7:00pm
“Deeply Moving” - Toronto Star
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.
