The Children by Lucy Kirkwood

Sid Williams Theatre

Courtenay Little Theatre presents The Children by Lucy Kirkwood, at the Sid Williams Theatre, from April 15-19. Part mystery, part comedy, part eco-thriller, The Children asks: What do we owe the next generation? Set in a little cottage on the coast of England, a married couple, Robin and Hazel, spend a pleasant summer evening with an old friend, Rose, after she shows up out of the blue. There’s plenty of drinking, eating, joking and arguing, even some dancing – standard reunion fare. But not all is as it seems. The three are retired nuclear engineers who worked together at the nearby Nuclear Power Station, which was recently hit by a tsunami, causing a meltdown. The cottage is actually a temporary shelter; Robin and Hazel’s ruined home is located inside the exclusion zone. And Rose comes bearing secrets from the past and a challenging vision for the future. The Children was nominated for a 2018 Tony Award for Best Play, and won the 2019 UK Writer’s Guild Award for Best New Play and the 2019 Australian Helpmann Award for Best Play. About the theme of generational responsibility, millennial playwright Lucy Kirkwood commented, “my hope is that audiences will not feel that the play is about a single generation – it is not a satire on baby-boomers, it’s about all of us – in 35 years I will be Hazel’s age and I am certain that the next generations will be asking the same questions of me as mine ask of hers.” Director Catherine Hannon ( Dracula , Hedda Gabler , The Drawer Boy ) chose the play for “its great dialogue and its wit, accessible characters and provocative ideas.” Hannon said she loves collaborating with veteran CLT actors Simon Easterman ( Dracula ), Erin Malin ( Dracula , Myth of the Ostrich , The Shoplifters ) and Ruthie Tilston ( Humble Boy , The Ladies Foursome ), a cast she said “have the experience, smarts and comic timing to balance both the humour and the drama of the The Children” . Surprising, relatable, funny and moving, The Children will also represent CLT at the Theatre BC North Island Zone Theatre Festival at Nanaimo Theatre Group’s Bailey Theatre on May 20. Tickets for shows at The Sid Williams Theatre, April 15-19 are available at www.sidwilliamstheatre.com and for more information about the NIZ festival go to www.courtenaylittletheatre.com “Sly, gripping, darkly funny…” — The Times “Grips compulsively…Leaves you an abundance of ideas on which to ruminate.” –The Guardian

Director's Cut 20th Anniversary Highlights

Sid Williams Theatre

@ As part of their milestone 20th Anniversary Season, the Just in Time Choirs continue the celebration with their spring concert, “Director’s Cut – 20th Anniversary Highlights.” Be a part of this commemorative musical extravaganza at the Sid Williams Theatre, where there will be performances on Saturday April 25th in the evening and Sunday April 26th in the afternoon. For two decades, the Just in Time Choirs have been bringing community together through the power of song — sharing music, connection, and unforgettable performances. This special spring concert marks Part 2 of their anniversary concert series, featuring personal favourites chosen by Musical Director, Wendy Nixon Stothert. The organization consists of three ensembles: Unplugged (everyone welcome), and the smaller auditioned groups, the Jems (treble) and Vocal Minority (mixed). They will be joined by skilled musical collaborators: Sean Mooney on piano, Beau Stocker on drums, Steve Wallace on bass, and Rachel Cooper on clarinet and sax. These renowned contemporary choirs are known for their versatility; their performances cover a wide spectrum of musical styles from jazz, ballads, folk, swing, soul, and contemporary pop to classic rock. Drawing from standout moments across the past twenty years, Director’s Cut showcases songs that have shaped the choir’s musical journey — audience favourites, meaningful repertoire, and highlights that reflect the growth and spirit of the choir family. Just in Time’s founder and Music Director, Wendy Nixon Stothert is excited to continue the celebration. “It has made me really happy to have a reason to dig into the archives and return to some of my favourite songs, some from quite far back!” says Nixon Stothert. “Many of these songs are reminiscent of very special performance moments we’ve had over these past 20 years. For example, I chose Stand By Me because I remember when 40 of us travelled to Cuba in 2014 and we sang it deep in a cave. Bumblebee is on the setlist because it reminds me of when my daughter sang the song with the Jems when she was 10 years old. Vocal Minority recorded a video version of Take On Me during the pandemic when we couldn’t sing in person together and singing it again now reminds me of the perseverance and dedication of the singers during those tough times. All of these magical moments, and many more, form a treasure trove that I love to reflect upon.” The setlist also includes Coco Love Alcorn’s soulful “Revolution”, jazz standard “Cheek to Cheek”, an acapella version of Ah-Ha’s 80s hit “Take on Me”, “Sir Duke” by the incomparable Stevie Wonder and “Sway” a la Michael Buble. To name just a few! The concert finale brings all three choirs together to perform Led Zeppelin’s epic classic “Stairway to Heaven” and, fittingly, the jazz standard “Just in Time”. This concert caps a year-long celebration honouring 20 years of music and community. Join the Just in Time Choirs as they look back on cherished memories while celebrating the vibrant energy that continues to inspire singers and audiences alike. Tickets are $33.40 (incl fees) for adults, $15 for children 12 & under, plus fees. There is also a live stream option for $33.40 per household, and we are again offering a limited number of Community Supported Tickets at $15 for those under financial constraint.

CVGBs presents: From the UK, guitar and avant garde legend FRED FRITH with special guests from San Francisco PHIPPS PT. & from Cumberland Devils Club Friday May 1, 2026 6:30 PM Comox Valley Curling Centre CVGBs is excited to welcome renowned avant-garde guitar player Fred Frith for a very rare show on Friday May 1. Frith who has an illustrious career dating back to England in the 1970’s, notably with Henry Cow, Art Bears, Skeleton Crew, Massacre, and countless more. His unique style has provided him the opportunity to play a veritable who’s who of innovative artists such as Brian Eno, John Zorn/Naked City, Mike Patton (Faith No More), the Residents, Richard Thompson, Bill Laswell, KK Null, Jad Fair, Tom Cora, Derek Bailey, Sonny Sharrock, Henry Kaiser, Hans Reichel… This list could go on for pages… Frith provided iconic guitar work on two of Eno’s legendary records “Music for Films” and “Before and After Science”. Understatement: Fred Frith is a legend of improvised and experimental music, and beyond being one of the world’s most iconic and most renowned avant garde guitar players, he is a truly inspirational artist. While improvised music has been the common thread throughout his career Frith has actively engaged in theatre and dance work, providing accompanying sounds.

The Strathcona Symphony Orchestra Closes the Concert Season with Magic for Comox Valley and Campbell River Audiences

The Strathcona Symphony Orchestra Closes the Concert Season with Magic for Comox Valley and Campbell River Audiences

Florence Filberg Centre

The Strathcona Symphony Orchestra Closes the Concert Season with Magic for Comox Valley and Campbell River Audiences Strathcona Symphony Orchestra (SSO) audiences will experience the power of storytelling by way of music and a commanding performance from Terence Tam, a world-renowned violin soloist and concertmaster of the Victoria Symphony. Kenji Fusé has been warmly greeted by the community and orchestra members during his first year as the SSO Music Director, and he has chosen the title, The Magic of Music, to wrap up the 2025/26 season. Concerts are Saturday, May 2 @ 7pm (Filberg Centre, Courtenay) and Sunday, May 3 @ 3pm (Campbell River Baptist Church). Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under and will be available for purchase mid-March on the SSO website, https://strathcona-symphony-orchestra.tickit.ca/ . Tam’s career includes solo performances with leading orchestras in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the U.S. He has been a top prizewinner of multiple international and national competitions as well as the recipient of numerous grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and Chalmers Foundation of the Ontario Arts Council. He is well-known as a recitalist, chamber musician, educator, and familiar face on the Vancouver Island classical music scene. Audiences will get to enjoy Tam perform the first movement (Allegro molto appassionato) of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64 , accompanied by the SSO musicians. Many of the compositions for the May concert are based on extraordinary fairy tales (Mozart’s Magic Flute , Kodály’s Háry János and Stravinsky’s The Firebird ) or feelings of a nostalgic and magical beauty (Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltz ). The SSO hopes that audiences attending the May event will feel moved by the music and feel the power of the compositions. The music is very challenging, and the orchestra can’t wait to entertain and delight their audiences with such an incredible program to end the season.

Holding Heritage: Unspoken Stories

Cumberland Museum & Archives

@ Unspoken Stories showcases candid conversations between Chinese-Vietnamese Boat People refugees and their families. At its heart is the belief that for younger generations to carry culture forward, they must first be inspired by the stories of their own families. By encouraging honest and intentional dialogue across generations, we invite viewers to see how embracing personal understandings of their roots can spark pride, belonging, and a deeper connection to both their identities and family histories. The screening will be followed by a discussion with: Hollie Ha, Holding Heritage founder and Unspoken Stories creator Sandy Ho, Author of “No Way But Through: A Family Memoir” Andrew Ha, interviewee from the Unspoken Stories project Hollie Ha bridges generations by sharing candid conversations and untold stories of Chinese-Vietnamese Boat people refugees and their descendants. Through these meaningful exchanges, the series explores the delicate interplay between heritage, identity, and family dynamics. Watch the trailer here!
