Culture and History all under one roof!
Located in the Deep Cove Cultural Centre, the Shaw Theatre, a 130 seat, air-conditioned venue, is home to two live theatre companies, the Deep Cove Stage Society and First Impressions Theatre. Between performances, you can browse the Seymour Art Gallery, or check out a bit of history presented by the Deep Cove Heritage Society in the form of a charming photo display in the lobby of the theatre. Arts and crafts can be bought in the Treasure Trove gift shop.
First Impressions
This professional company has called The Shaw its home since 1993, but has been around for a decade longer. Their mission is to provide a training ground for professional actors, both new to the business and old hands, in front of a live audience. Tickets for the shows are reasonably priced, and the quality of production is high, whether it be a new play or an older favourite.
Deep Cove Stage Society
Staging a selection of classic and new plays, The Deep Cove Stage Society is known for its comedies and thrillers, but also its beloved pantomime. A loose, Christmas-time retelling of classic children’s fairytales like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Aladdin or Robin Hood, the pantomime incorporates song and dance, buffoonery, lots of audience participation, and a little mild sexual innuendo for the grown-ups. Regular season performances run October through June.
