Massey Theatre opened in 1949 as British Columbia's largest theatre. Since then its lights have shone on Broadway touring companies and international stars of dance and music. Today, Massey Theatre proudly hosts professional orchestras like the Vancouver Symphony, stars like singing sensation Jewel, and stunning productions like Hello Dolly, South Pacific, 42nd Street and The King and I. The theatre has been home to community groups, competitions, festivals, student performances and performers of culturally diverse communities.
The Bernie Legge Theatre
Queens Park

This historic theatre, formerly known as the Vagabond Playhouse, is the home of the award-winning Vagabond Players, the city's oldest theatre group. Known for producing top-quality shows, they feature four a year, including comedy, drama, mystery, musicals and special shows for children at Christmas. Any seat in this cozy quaint theatre is a great seat, as the theatre is small enough to evoke the days of small-town yesteryear. Nestled among the tall cedars in a quiet corner of Queens Park, it's the perfect spot for an intimate evening in a romantic setting.
