Little Shop of Horrors
Sat, Oct 24 2 pm – 4:30 pm

Little Shop of Horrors

Sid Williams Theatre

A cult-favorite musical full of big laughs, memorable songs, and a monstrous plant that turns an ordinary flower shop into a wild ride of love, greed, and disaster. Little Shop of Horrors is a deliciously dark, wildly funny musical about a shy florist shop worker, a hopeless crush, and a mysterious plant with a very big appetite. Packed with catchy songs, outrageous characters, and just the right amount of campy chaos, it’s a show that’s equal parts heart, horror, and hilarity. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Book and Lyrics by Howard Ashman Music by Alan Menken Based on the film by Roger Corman, Screenplay by Charles Griffith. Originally produced by the WPA Theatre (Kyle Renick, Producing Director) Originally produced at the Orpheum Theatre, New York City by the WPA Theatre, David Geffen, Cameron Mackintosh and the Shubert Organization. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS was originally Directed by Howard Ashman with Musical Staging by Edie Cowan.

Unglued – Collage Workshop

Artful the Gallery

Exploring with collage connects you with your creativity, and can help sidestep those pesky harsh self-judgments about your artistic abilities. Using collage, we will cultivate a sense of possibility, adventure and imagination. Using existing images in unpredictable compositions and with collaboration can lower our inhibitions (which is great for those who want to be creative but don’t consider themselves artists) providing a playful experience with curiousity and openness to the unexpected … just for fun! All levels welcome and all materials supplied.

Lecture: North Island Heritage Sites

Lecture: North Island Heritage Sites

the Courtenay and District Museum

Plan your next “staycation” with historian Jeanette Taylor, who will give an illustrated talk about north Vancouver Island’s heritage sites, Tuesday, November 3 at 7pm at the Courtenay Museum. Taylor brings a wealth of experience to her subject, from writing local history to guided boat tours and her former role as a curator with the Museum at Campbell River. She’ll highlight accessible gems and provide a downloadable site list. Many can be reached by car and trail, while others, like Mitlenatch Island or Nootka Sound, require boat tours. Taylor likes to bring these areas to life with stories of remarkable individuals. One such person is August Schnarr, who raised three girls on his own in the isolated mountain vastness of Bute Inlet. The girls became famous for raising cougars as pets. “The north island is not an easy place to live,” says Taylor, “between the mountains, wind, extreme tides and weather. Settlers who wanted to farm chose the Comox Valley or points south. The north demanded adventurers, prepared to face extremes.” Admission to the evening is $5 per Historical Society member; $6 non-members (plus GST). Advance tickets are strongly recommended as the museum lecture series frequently sells out. FMI: 250-334-0686 ext. 2.

Concerts Facebook page for all the latest news on upcoming shows, concert pre-sales & prize giveaways! www.facebook.com/gotpopnorthisland **************************************************** True Mountain Laurel bio~ Haley Blais and Sam Lynch unite as True Mountain Laurel, a supergroup born from late-night harmonies, voice memos, and friendship. Their debut project, Angel So Bad, blends Sam’s poetic introspection with Haley’s sharp lyrical intimacy into dust-swept folk-country songs that capture longing, growth, and connection. What began as casual writing sessions evolved into a collaborative ritual: trading lines over coffee, recording scrappy demos, creating music free from pressure or pretence. Influenced by Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, and early 2000s Canadian singer-songwriters, their warm, minimal sound (acoustic guitars, brushed drums, pedal steel) feels intimate, honest, and alive, both on record and in performance.

Brass Camel featuring very special guests Chopping Spree! Live at The Waverley Hotel

Brass Camel featuring very special guests Chopping Spree! Live at The Waverley Hotel

2692 Dunsmuir Avenue, Cumberland, BC, Canada, British Columbia V0R 1S0, 2692 Dunsmuir Ave, Cumberland, BC V0R, Canada

BRASS CAMEL: Vancouver's Brass Camel is a band that defies labels by fusing deep-pocket funk, face-melting prog, and massive-harmony art rock. Since releasing their debut album Brass in 2022 they’ve played over 200 concerts, including five national Canadian headlining tours and stages like Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom, Vogue Theatre, and Toronto's historic Longboat Hall. Their musicianship and work ethic have earned endorsements from Sabian, Rotosound UK, Pro Mark Drumsticks and Evans Drumheads. In 2024, their cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please for Musora’s Covers Challenge has drawn over 750,000 views and counting. Their sophomore album Camel (spring 2025) brought international press, reaction videos, and steady LP sales. While touring in support of this album, the band recorded their third LP at Uxbridge's pastoral Chalet Studio - mixed by the legendary Terry Brown (Rush, Hendrix, The Who, Blue Rodeo), their April 2026 release marks a bold leap in songwriting, distilling Brass Camel’s road-forged sound into something entirely their own. It has brought Brass Camel coverage in premiere publications such as Classic Rock Magazine, PROG Magazine, This Is Rock (Spain), Rock Hard (France) and more. June 2026 brought the band outside of Canada for the first time, touring in the USA with fellow shredders High Fade (Scotland) and with a European tour planned for fall 2026, Brass Camel doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon. "Their self-titled third album masters the delicate balance of hero worship and fresh originality, gleefully refusing to stand in one place as each member puts their stamp on its strutting compositions. It's a reminder that, above all else, rock'n'roll is meant to entertain." - Classic Rock Magazine "Brass Camel is the best band in Canada - mind blowing. Their live show is truly unbelievable." -Hal Jacques (CHOM DJ - Montreal) "A natural, heartfelt and funk-flecked amalgamation of Rush, Queen and Led Zeppelin tied together with signature sass and tasteful virtuosity" - PROG Magazine Tickets $25 in advance https://waverley.tickit.ca/ Box Office: 8:30 Show: 9:30 Pub open all evening

Lecture: Wild Bears of Canada
Tue, Dec 1 7 pm – 8 pm

Lecture: Wild Bears of Canada

the Courtenay and District Museum

In a presentation based on his book, Wild Bears of Canada , wildlife guide and photographer Edward Savage will share some of his observations about grizzlies, black bears, and polar bears. Savage will be speaking at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, December 1, in the Courtenay and District Museum. Edward Savage has spent fifteen years watching bears across some of the country’s most remote terrain— and for many of the bears in this book, that relationship spans over a decade. That depth of observation is evident on every page of his book: how grizzly mothers raise and wean their young, what dangers imperil black bears, and how polar bears locate each other across the sea ice. Savage’s photographs and reflections explore the many traits of bears that we as humans value and connect with, from the profound mother-cub bonds to the strength and calm they exude in daily life. Copies of Wild Bears of Canada (Harbour Publishing) will be available for purchase ($49.95 plus tax) and signing after the talk. Edward Savage has led nature-based expeditions across Canada and internationally—wading rivers, kayaking remote coastlines, crossing the sub-arctic tundra—and has lectured widely on bear behaviour and ecology. Admission to the lecture is $5 per historical society member; $6 for non-members. Advance tickets are strongly recommended . Doors open 6:30 PM. For more information, or to purchase tickets over the phone, call 250-334-0686 ext. 2 . The Courtenay and District Museum is located at 207 Fourth Street in downtown Courtenay.
