COVID Safe at CPAC
Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, our primary focus has been on the health and safety of our patrons, performers, volunteers and staff – it has always been, and will continue to be, our greatest priority. We will continue to follow the recommendations of health authorities, government and industry bodies. Whilst we are thrilled to be opening our doors to the public and welcoming live performance back to our stage, we have had to make some changes to the ways in which we operate.

Temporary Closure
In accordance with the NSW Public Health Order banning indoor mass gatherings of more than 100 people until 16 June 2020, several productions that were scheduled at CPAC have been forced to cancel or postpone until later in the year. In light of this fact, CPAC will be closed until further notice. -
COVID-19 AND CPAC – IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION UPDATE
The ongoing and developing nature of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation has affected a number of upcoming shows at CPAC. First and foremost for us is the health and safety of our patrons, performers, volunteers and staff – it has always been, and will continue to be, our greatest priority. We are in continuing discussions with all of our promoters, touring companies, and performers to determine the best course of action moving forward.
In light of the Prime Minister’s announcement on Wednesday 18 March regarding the ban on non-essential indoor gatherings of 100 people or more, this will mean cancelling or postponing a number of shows until later in the year. As information comes in we will continue to update our website to reflect these changes, as well as providing details through our social media channels.
For those shows that have already been cancelled or postponed, our Box Office team have been working tirelessly to contact all ticket holders. Anyone who has purchased tickets to shows that have opted to postpone will have the option to have their current tickets transferred to the new date. Should a ticket holder not be able to attend the performance on the rescheduled date, the cost of their tickets will be refunded. Due to the high number of calls to be made this may take some time.
We sincerely apologise for any delays that may occur and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work through this. You’ll find listed below details for all affected performances to date.
