Blue Frog Studios is Canada's Hottest Live Recording Theatre. The world famous multi-media recording studios and event venue located in the quaint beachside arts community of White Rock, BC (just south of Vancouver). This world-class studio has been home to many, many recordings by international and award winning recording artists, such as: • Jefferson Starship • 54-40 • Jim Byrnes • Maria Muldaur • Dan Hill • Susan Jacks • Paul Rodgers • Shari Ulrich • Juice Newton • Barney Bentall In the style of Austin City Limits, the 4800 sq. foot facility seats 100 lucky audience members for unique, up close and personal concerts with some of the world's most talented entertainers. The studio provides world-class sound and lighting, as well as the latest in behind-the-scenes video and audio recording technology with an unparalleled production team. Blue Frog Studios concert theatre was designed as a large commercial recording studio that will accommodate an 80-piece orchestra. Anyone who has seen a show, or recorded here will probably tell you that it is one of the best sounding rooms in Canada. Shows sell out fast!
Great staff, great performances and the best sound of any venue in the lower mainland. I’ve been to many shows and will continue to go to many many more!

Columbia Theatre is a heritage building with three venues for all types of performing arts and events. It is home to Lafflines Comedy Club, Amicus Performing Arts Society, Wonderland Arts School and Charm Dance Group. This rare moorish style theatre was the first atmospheric theatre to be built in British Columbia (1927) and remains as one of very few in North America. It has been transformed a few times to adjust to the changing times, but its original purpose to provide an elegant gathering place for the community to celebrate life, laughter and love has been cherished and preserved.

This center serves as a venue for both performance and teaching in the arts.
This is a lovely open, airy building that makes a perfect coffee stop if you’ve been walking around Deer Lake Park, visiting the Burnaby Art Gallery (a very short walk to the centre) or going to the Burnaby Village Museum (across the street). There’s a nice little coffee bar just inside the entrance that serves drinks, baked items and sandwiches at very reasonable prices. Tables and chairs are adjacent, or you can head to the other end of the building where there’s a seating area overlooking the park. Much of the art in the central portion is by Jack Shadbolt, a painter who spent the latter part of his life in Burnaby. Other areas of the building have rotating exhibitions. There are two theatres in the centre, but it seems to be primarily a teaching facility, with studios for dance, music and art. Lucky Burnaby! Wish there was something similar where I live.

Best known as the home of internationally renowned Vancouver Symphony Orchestra – the largest performing arts organization in Western Canada – the Orpheum also features regular performances by some of the city’s finest choirs, as well as performing artists visiting from around the world.
As far as I know, this is one of the oldest and most ornate theatres in Vancouver. Being a young city, we are eclipsed by the historic buildings of much older cities, but the Orpheum takes you back to a time of grandeur that you won’t see in its contemporary counterparts.. As the home of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO), there are events taking place at the Orpheum year-round. If you’re a lover of the orchestra, stop by the box office to try your luck at scoring rush tickets to an event happening on the same day. If you prefer to make plans, book your tickets online or join the VSO mailing list to find out what they have coming up.

The Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company is British Columbia’s premier theatre company, formed in 1962 in response to the Canada Council's funding initiative for regional theatre companies. Now in its 49th season, it became the principal tenant of the 655-seat Vancouver Playhouse Theatre, a civic building in the downtown core. A reputation for high standards and for doing interesting work has enabled the Playhouse to present some of the best theatre artists from across Canada, creating consistently high-calibre theatre experiences. It has produced premieres of many original Canadian plays, disseminated partnered work across Canada, and played a historic role in providing training and graduate opportunities for Western Canadian theatre artists to develop their craft, as well as in developing the regional community’s interest in classics and contemporary work by authors such as Tennessee Williams, George Ryga and Joan MacLeod.
There are bigger theatres and concert halls in Vancouver, like the Queen Elizabeth theatre next door to the Playhouse and Chan Centre on the UBC campus (with its wonderful acoustics) but the Playhouse has the kind of intimacy that makes you feel much closer to the actors or musicians. Thus the Vancouver Recital Society has chosen to bring most of its internationally renowned musicians here and created a warm and very personal experience.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing the play Always a Bridesmaid at this lovely gem of a theatre. It was my first time at this venue and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Top notch performances all around and excellent directing of this production. The theatre has very comfortable seats, a balcony and great sight lines. There’s even a bar where you can get some drinks before the play, at intermission and after the play. You can even mingle with the cast as they often have a drink after performing. Way better than NetFlix!
