The Canadian Heritage Arts Society owns and operates the Canadian College of Performing Arts, and together they present live theatre and musical performances each year. The season of productions is selected to serve the community, as audience to enjoy the performing arts as an entertaining and learning experience; and to serve the students of CCPA, the artists-in-training for whom a performance experience with a live audience is one of the most valuable training moments they can have.
Announced in August each year, the CCPA Performance Hall is the main venue for an autumn season of plays from October - December, followed by a musical in January/February.

The culmination of the season, and the year of training, is the production of a mainstage musical at Victoria's McPherson Playhouse for 2 weekends in April annually.
This theatrical spectacle delights audiences time and time again. And with all of the CCPA Diploma students participating, a 40+ cast deliver this high quality event.
This year, come and see:
Disney's Newsies
April 17 - 25, 2025
A Tony-award winning score to sweep you up in the dramatic fight for what’s fair – based on the strike of 1899 by the child labourers of New York, led by those selling the papers for the rich and powerful.
Scrappy, snappy, and full of rousing calls to action – this musical sensation will have you wanting to “stare down the odds and seize the day”.
