Beacon Ridge Productions presents…

An Evening with Judy Collins

Sunday, February 1, 2026 @ 7:30 pm (doors 6:45)
Dave Dunnet Community Theatre
Oak Bay High School, 2121 Cadboro Bay Road

Due to overwhelming demand, we have added a second concert!  Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century.

Tickets for this second show will be available on Eventbrite beginning tomorrow,  December 5th!  As usual, you can also pick up tickets directly from us, just get in touch with Marie at 250-812-7978.
