“From the moment we thought to list the house, to the moment the new owner picked up the keys, our experience with Carla Arnold as the realtor for our parents house was outstanding. She did her utmost, in a diffi cult market, to con-stantly showcase the house to potential buyers. Her professionalism, creativity, networking, and amazing helpfulness with the unexpected, were outstanding. Her understanding of the needs of seniors, in particular, was impressive. On a scale of 1-10 for customer service excellence, we give Carla 100!”

A MESSAGE FROM OUR

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board of Directors: Back row (l to r): Tansy Pauls, Suzanne Linnell, Charles Massey, Neil HaversFront row (l to r): Heather McFetridge, Wayne Anderson, Gail Limber.Not pictured: Darryl Calnan and Marty Douglas.

Board of Directors, Sid Williams Theatre Society

As we head into the Christmas season, we on the board of the Sid Williams Theatre Society want to remind you that the gift of entertainment beats a new tie or a pair of gloves every time! Become a member of our society and stuff those Christmas stockings with one of our “4 OR MORE” discount show packages. Then let our Winter and Spring lineup put you and your family in the proper Christmas spirit.

Speaking of spirits, as the namesake of Sid Williams,

we are pretty confident that Sid’s spirit will be clicking its heels when we start our 2015 programming with a Vaudeville show in the grand tradition of Theatre Royale in Barkerville, where so many characters created by the man himself came to life.

2015 marks the City of Courtenay’s 100th anniversary, so the chief aim of our 2015 season will be to host a year long party for our city. We’re going to do that by taking advantage of the new relationships we have

nurtured over the past year. In January, we will be partnering with Vancouver Island Musicfest and Discover Comox Valley on two headline events in the WinterJAM100 concert lineup. Then, throughout 2015, the Sid will be collaborating with the Courtenay Museum and Comox Valley Art Gallery to showcase the role that culture has played in building our community.

We think things have never looked better at the Sid Williams Theatre so “Come and See”!

WHAT IS THE BLUE CIRCLE SERIES?

As a community arts organization, the Sid Williams Theatre Society strives to enrich the Comox Valley’s cultural activities. Each year between September and June, we proudly present a diverse season of professional performing artists.

Presenting a performance means we have carefully selected and contracted the artists to appear locally, unlike commercial or community user groups who select available dates to rent the theatre for their shows.

Blue is the colour of inspiration. The circle celebrates inclusion. It symbolizes our eyes and opening awareness. It represents the infinite nature of energy. It symbolizes the cycles of time, the movements of seasons. The circle is sacred to many cultures, and beckons the viewer to be drawn in, like a spotlight on our stage.

BLUE CIRCLE SERIES MEMBER 4 OR MORE PACKA multi-performance discount price on the purchase of 4 OR MORE. Members can purchase a ticket to 4 OR MORE different shows and receive a special price on each show - build your own ticket package!

WINTER HARPDECEMBER 11, 2014 7:30 PM

“Magical.., enchanting, ...mesmerizing,” these are words that describe Winter Harp, an acclaimed ensemble of harps, flutes, medieval instruments, percussion, poetry and song.

Join this Yuletide ensemble as it whisks you to a far-off land of moonlight, castles and snow. It’s like being in an ethereal medieval dream of hauntingly beautiful, yet as cozy and warm as Christmas. Gorgeous medieval attire and a stage set with candles and breathtakingly beautiful backdrops of cathedral and snow add to the beauty of this unique show.

Carols, both familiar and ancient, will set your heart singing as you journey with the musicians to Christmases of long ago.

THE ACOUSTICAL SOUNDS OF BIG SUGARMARCH 10, 2015

TICKET DETAILS NOT AVAILABLE AT PRESS TIME. Please visit our website www.sidwilliamstheatre.com or contact our Ticket Centre for details.

BIG SUGAR have always been known for their powerful, high volume live performances. Now, audiences will get a rare chance to see Gordie Johnson and the entire BIG SUGAR family in an intimate and

entirely acoustic setting. “Most of our songs were written and conceived on acoustic instruments,” explains Gordie,“ This also gives folks a chance to hear the influences that inform our style.” Reggae, blues, and jazz have always walked hand in hand with the rocking BIG SUGAR sound. Here they will be at the forefront as showcased on their new release

‘YARDSTYLE’. Mr Chill’s blues harmonica and Johnson’s vocals mixed with Jamaican folk rhythms and Garry Lowe’s signature bass lines along with a stage of Bredren are sure to conjure an unforgettable concert experience.

Be sure to join us for this intimate and acoustic night with Big Sugar!

The music of Mozart and of Queen’s Freddie Mercury meet in this incredible balletic journey to stardom. It follows the tumultuous career of one of the world’s most famous composers, featuring new classical and contemporary choreography.

Ballet Victoria uses narrative, humour, depth, and classical and popular cultural references to create works that attract a diverse audience. Artistic Director Paul Destrooper choreographs to well known classical and popular music in ways that allow the dancer’s movements to tell a story and give audiences a familiar connection to each show.

The passion and drama of a musical genius

In the spirit of “Skattered Skits” and Barkerville’s Theatre Royale, the Sid Williams Theatre Society will usher in 2015 with a special production to celebrate the City of Courtenay’s 100th birthday, Sid’s Vaudeville Follies.

Hop in the time machine with us and enjoy a true live variety performance in the spirit of old time Vaudeville. The song and dance man, the circus act, the card shark, the chorus line dancers, the comedian, and so much more. This true to form reproduction of an old time Vaudeville show will take you back to the awe and laughter of a historical era of show business.

Hosted by the one and only Kenny Shaw, the show features songsters, hoofers, jokesters and corny characters that Sid himself would be proud of!

Sid's Vaudeville Follies, come one , come all! This here’s a must see!
