2023 Spring Events

The Box Office hours are Thursday, Friday, & Saturday 12pm-6pm; plus in-person sales only 1 hour prior to events. Contact us by phone at (831) 479-6154.

UPDATE: We have received notice from AudienceView, the vendor Cabrillo VAPA Box Office uses to host the ticketing platform for our campus events, including all community events, Cabrillo Stage, and all VAPA and college-produced events, of a data breach that impacted the ticketing platform's national customer base. AudienceView decided to take their product offline to further investigate.

An investigation into the matter by AudienceView revealed that no Cabrillo College patron information was compromised as a result of this breach, but as an added precaution, we strongly encourage anyone who has purchased tickets online through the Cabrillo College VAPA website since early February 2023 to check your credit card statements immediately and contact your banking institution regarding any suspicious transactions.

COVID-19 VAPA PERFORMANCE SAFETY PROTOCOLS

* An N95, KN95, or a double mask is encouraged, but not required.

* All patrons are encouraged to be fully vaccinated, but it is not required.
