The Chemainus Theatre Festival is a special place where people come together to immerse themselves in story and song. From all over Vancouver Island and further afield, theatre lovers are drawn to the energy, intimacy and quality of live theatre in Chemainus and the beauty of the Cowichan region.
In 2018, we celebrate unlikely lovers and dreamers. It’s a celebration of hope and resilience – an immigrant’s heartfelt comedic story in Kim’s Convenience, a broken musician’s reignited passion in the Broadway smash Once, a pitchy, bombastic singer who Gloriously delighted thousands, four sisters determined to shine in Little Women, quizzical charmers in Outside Mullingar and desperate teenagers longing for belonging in Grease. This collection of shows celebrates the moxie and determination to which many aspire – to make the most of what we’ve been given, share our lives with one another and, if we might be so blessed, light the world with love, laughter and song.
