35th Anniversary

The deCoste Performing Arts Centre opened its doors 35 years ago in 1982. Rita MacNeil performed the opening concert. Over 2,000 performances later the deCoste is busier than ever. It's so good, and so close. See it Live! See it Local. - Creative Director, Troy Greencorn

Dear Patron,

On March 13 Dr. Robert Strang advised that public gatherings of 150 or more attendees should be avoided. This was later downgraded to groups of 50, 10 and then 5 people. With this clear directive from the province’s top medical authority the deCoste announced a 30-day suspension of shows. We will assess new information as it becomes available and get back into normal operations as soon as possible.

On March 17th we upgraded measures and have closed the deCoste building to the public until further notice. Staff will continue to work remotely and box office services will remain available by phone (902-485-8848) and online by emailing us at info@decostecentre.ca. If phoning, please leave a message and staff will return your call. The health of our patrons, employees and performers is of utmost importance to us, justifying these proactive measures.

We are working on an alternate plan for each show. Our goal with all has been to reschedule to a date safely out of the footprint of this public health advisory. While we have had a few outright cancellations, we have been able to reschedule most events. Please keep an eye to the website, which will be kept current with up-to-the-minute information on each show. We will reach out to ticket holders for each show as plans evolve.

If you have purchased tickets to any of these performances, your tickets will be good for the rescheduled show. If for some reason you are unable to attend the revised performance, we direct you to the COVID-19/Cancellations page on our website. We have decided to enable patrons who were planning to purchase tickets to any of our upcoming shows to be able to put tickets on reserve at this time. This will allow you to have tickets on stand-by without having to pay for them until we have certainty about the COVID-19 situation and resumption of normal operations.

Thank you all for your amazing, ongoing support. Let’s stay healthy by following the advised precautions.

Troy Greencorn – Executive Director
