A Show Night at Centennial Theatre

A 658-seat North Shore theatre where the SeaBus ride home, with city lights on the water, is half the date.

Mid-Lonsdale, North Vancouver

More info

The date

Centennial Theatre is a 658-seat house on Lonsdale, small enough that there are genuinely no bad seats, filled by the Centennial Presents series with music, comedy, dance, and touring shows worth booking on a whim. It doubles as an excuse to cross to the North Shore: dinner in Lower Lonsdale, the show, then the SeaBus back with city lights on the water. You will both pretend it isn't romantic.

How to do it

Have dinner in Lower Lonsdale first, then settle into this tidy 658-seat house where the Centennial Presents series serves up music, comedy, dance, and touring acts, small enough that there are no bad seats. Plan on about two hours and book on a whim; the bill rewards it. The real encore is the SeaBus ride back across the inlet afterward, with the city lights doing the closing number.
