Who would’ve guessed that there’s a performance venue tucked away in this corner of Granville Island.
Parking is available all over the island.
The venue is definitely on the cozy side. There is a ticket booth that is way too small (giant lineup), and the main foyer is a really just a small corridor.
The main venue room is surprisingly decent in the acoustics department, as there didn’t seem to be too much at all (ie insulation, sound panels etc.) in the room. No echoes, but also no muffled sounds. Special mention there.
If you need a mid-​sized hall for 200 – 300 (400 if you’re doing standing room) people, this place definitely fits the bill.

It’s been many years since I caught a play in this sweet, mixed use space but on Saturday, Fair Trade Vancouver had a Holiday Vendor Showcase at this location.
As I walked around the room checking out the many vendors, I also looked down at the old floor and up at the wooden beams and skylight and thought about the many events and uses for this place.
Thank goodness some of the older buildings like this are preserved here in Vancouver. Nothing beats the ambiance that old architecture can offer.
Yay to historical preservation!

Wow what a great space! We have used this space for shows, fundraisers, galas, bbqs, awards nights. the list goes on and on. We even got licensing to sell our own booze! The actual space can handle just about anything. shows, music, lighting. My friends brother even had a wedding here. The front of house is just as nice as the back of house. There is total black out capabilities. Seating can be set up whatever way you like, and as i mentioned before you can drink inside the venue!

Performance Works, you make me sad … I tried by email, phone, and personal visit to find out if you were releasing extra tickets for the Lost Fingers show. Absolutely zero response from you. And, at this point, I’m too old to go stand around outside on the night of the show and to try to sneak/​beg in.
Yes, it’s my fault for not being on top of it way ahead of time.
But, seriously … I wanted to give you money. Now I don’t. Boo.

I went to see the December Man at this playhouse. It looks pretty small from the outside, but inside it’s pretty spacious (perhaps the extremely tall ceiling play a part in this.
This venue is rented out for all purposes. I had a quick chat with the front house manager, and she said it’s even rented out for weddings. It’s kind of cute, but I wouldn’t see a wedding here…
The actual theatre room is large, and full of bleachers with folding chairs. The stage is at the floor level.
