Cabrillo College's Visual and Performing Arts Complex offers state of the art facilities in all art mediums, as well as three performance venues: the Crocker Theater, the Samper Recital Hall and the Black Box Theater.
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.

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