The project is now complete. On Nov. 18, 2024 Kitchener City Council approved a new operating model for the Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts (CCPA). Moving forward, the City will lead venue operations with the support of Green Light Arts – a non-profit arts organization. For more information about the CCPA, visit www.kitchener.ca/ConradCentre 


The Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts (CCPA) is a vibrant and dynamic cultural space in the heart of downtown Kitchener.

We are exploring new operating models for how to best maximize the use of the Conrad Centre’s facilities. We'd like to hear from all kinds of audiences, including:

  • Conrad Centre enthusiasts, like former season’s pass holders
  • Occasional visitors, even those who only went to that one show that one time
  • People who’ve never been to the Conrad, but might like to
  • People who go to arts and culture events elsewhere here or in other cities
  • Residents who live in and around downtown Kitchener

If you’ve been before, tell us about your experiences at the Centre and how we might improve. Even if you haven't, let us know about your experiences at other venues so we can understand your interests. Finally, share your ideas for how we can best use the Centre’s facilities to support the performing arts.

Your contributions are important and will help us present recommendations that best meet our community’s needs. Thank you for your participation!
