THEATRE  GUIDE

Your official guide to what's on stage around Metro Vancouver

About the Theatre Guide

GVPTA's Theatre Guide is the top result when searching the web for theatre in Metro Vancouver. Make sure your production gets noticed; list early, and list often! 


Post your listing as far in advance of the show as you wish; postings stay up online until the show is over.  Please note that for performances that run longer than 4 weeks, listings may appear in up to two Theatre Guide newsletter issues during the course of a show's run.  The Theatre Guide newsletter is issued bi-weekly, every other Wednesday. 

Please note: The submission deadline for inclusion in the Theatre Guide newsletter is the Monday prior to the newsletter, at 4:00pm PT.
