Now is the perfect time to get back to live performance, and, we want our guests to feel safe as we all begin to venture back out. To help with the transition of beginning to attend live events, we are choosing to limit the venue’s capacity to 50% so that we all have a bit of extra space and masks will be mandatory.

Be sure secure your spot today! Tickets are only $50 and can be purchased online at Showplace 

Even if you are unable to attend the event, you can still support the Musicians United to End Homelessness initiative….Peterborough Performs 2.0 Virtual Auction is now LIVE! Check it out HERE.
