[edit] Abstract

The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts is regarded as one of the premiere entertainment facilities in the city. Internationally acclaimed architect, Moshe Safdie, created The Centre with the same contemporary vision used in its companion building Library Square. These state-of-the-art structures compliment Vancouver in both style and beauty. Together with the nearby Queen Elizabeth Theatre, the Vancouver Public Library, BC Place Stadium, and GM Place to the east, The Centre is a vital part of Vancouver's cultural and entertainment district.

The Centre is located in the dynamic core of downtown Vancouver on the West Side of Homer Street between Robson and West Georgia streets. It is two blocks from the Granville Skytrain station and within steps of Robson Street, the world-renowned shopping promenade.


The splendor of The Centre is dramatic constructed and crafted with the highest quality technology, staging, acoustics, seating, fixtures, and furnishings available. From the spiraling glass cone to the curvilinear marble staircase, white marble floors reflected endlessly by the faceted-mirrored walls to the massive arched ceiling, is an architectural kaleidoscope. The Centre is a sight to behold. Visitors will feel a sense of expansive time and space.

The Three Level Auditorium offers 1,836 lush purple velvet seats with uncompromising sightlines and impeccable acoustics. It is complimented by the stage that measures 102 feet wide by 52 feet deep and can accommodate 87 line-sets. Audiences will find themselves enveloped in a modern but ageless facility. Features include:

1836 three level live theatre auditorium
Striking marble lobby with a magnificent curving staircase
Two awe-inspiring foyers with expansive arched ceilings
Full bar and snack service
Washroom facilities located on all four levels
VIP suite with full service bar and private washrooms
Live-stage with a 20-50 seat orchestra pit
"Phonic Ear" FM hearing impaired system

Opened 1995, The Centre was originally named the Ford Centre for Performing Arts. During its tenure as Vancouver's premier performing arts facility, leading Broadway productions were showcased. Among others, patrons enjoyed Showboat, Sunset Boulevard, Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Riverdance, and Ragtime.

[edit] Booking

The Centre in Vancouver thanks you for your interest in booking the venue; below you will find some helpful information to aide you through the process. For booking The Centre in Vancouver please contact Diane Heal at: (604) 699-8760 or dheal@centreinvancouver.com
First Hold
A first hold may be placed on a date for a limited time without a deposit. The first hold is considered a tentative booking only.
As soon as a decision is made regarding the date, we request that the theatre be contacted to confirm or release the hold.
Once the theatre is notified of a decision to use a date, a signed contract and a 50 percent deposit on the base rental must be received for a booking to be fully confirmed. No Tickets may go on sale until a signed contract with deposit has been executed.
Second
A second hold may be placed on a date with an existing hold.
If the first hold cancels, the second hold will be contacted and offered the space.
Should the second hold wish to secure the date they may challenge the first hold by paying a 50 percent refundable deposit. Once this deposit is received, we will contact the first hold and they will have 72 hours to confirm the date by remitting a 50 percent deposit, or release the date to the second hold.
If the first hold pays the deposit and confirms the date, then the challenge deposit will be returned. Alternatively, if the first hold declines, then the challenging hold will retain the date and the deposit becomes non-refundable.
Once the contract is signed, the event is confirmed the 50 percent non-refundable deposit will be credited to the final bill.
