Step into our unique theatre, a sacred space for storytelling and song, where you can gather among friends in an atmosphere of conversation and good cheer. We’re grateful to be the home of live professional theatre on Vancouver Island, a place where people from all corners of the island come together in Chemainus to share a meal and enjoy the theatre. As part of the non-profit arts community, we’re dedicated to creating opportunities for gathering and celebration.
Experience the warmth, charm, and hope of “Home to Roost” this fall, brought to us by the exciting Canadian playwright Kristen DaSilva. And finally, revel in the joy and laughter of the holiday season with the homecoming of Buddy the Elf, spreading cheer for all to hear from the North Pole to New York City. We’re here to bring you joy and laughter, and we can’t wait to share these moments with you.
At Chemainus Theatre Festival, we offer a diverse range of events and programs. From community celebrations and graduations to the Cabaret series featuring fantastic musicians, from our main stage performances by fine artists to our education programs in schools, from tribute shows and retrospectives to the unique art and goodies in our Gallery Gift Shop, there’s something for everyone.
And much more – with your partnership and patronage, you are an integral part of the Chemainus Theatre Festival’s success. Together, we continue to explore and nourish the human spirit through artistry and hospitality. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the creative artists who join us from their homes across Canada and right here on Vancouver Island to be part of the Chemainus Theatre team!
