The Cultch, Vancouver’s most diverse and innovative arts and cultural hub, has announced its Fall 2020 Season. The past few months have made it clear that The Cultch isn’t just a place, it’s a community. It’s more than a historic church and a former movie theatre—it’s a vibrant and resilient community of artists and arts lovers.
This Fall, get ready for lots of music, local artists, and more! With a musical memoir from The Cultch’s Pandemic Artist-in-Residence Veda Hille, old and new Vancouver theatre hits, a new take on your favourite holiday tradition, and an evolution of the TRANSFORM Cabaret Festival, you will be able to enjoy a unique, diverse performance from the comfort and safety of your own home.
This year, there’s a new way to subscribe and support the festival – The Cultch Subscription Boxes. Subscription Boxes (patrons will be able to choose from a Solo Party or Bubble Box Subscription) will bring audiences an exclusive, curated mix of everything they love about The Cultch—plus even more goodies to enjoy from local artists, international stages, and community partners.
In addition to the shows detailed below, Cultch Box subscribers will receive:
- Exclusive content providing a deeper understanding of the shows and artists
- Exclusive access to virtual artist talk-back and events
- Discounts at local restaurants
- Exclusive access to a brand new Cultch podcast hosted by Tetsuro Shigematsu
- Internationally curated content from Joyce Rosario
