SUMMARY:9 to 5
DESCRIPTION:9 to 5\, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton\, is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s\, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous\, thought-provoking and even a little romantic. \nPushed to the boiling point\, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist\, egotistical\, lying\, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events\, Violet\, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged\,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover\, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey\, a girl can scheme\, can’t she?

SUMMARY:Courtenay Little Theatre Presents The Children\, by Lucy Kirkwood
DESCRIPTION: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? \nSet 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. \nThe 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. \nAbout 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.” \nDirector 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”. \nSurprising\, 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. \nTickets 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 \n“Sly\, gripping\, darkly funny…” —The Times \n“Grips compulsively…Leaves you an abundance of ideas on which to ruminate.” –The Guardian \n

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. \nThe 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. \nAbout 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.” \nDirector 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”. \nSurprising\, 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. \nTickets 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 \n“Sly\, gripping\, darkly funny…” —The Times \n“Grips compulsively…Leaves you an abundance of ideas on which to ruminate.” –The Guardian \n

SUMMARY:The Strathcona Symphony Orchestra Closes the Concert Season with Magic for Comox Valley and Campbell River Audiences
DESCRIPTION:The Strathcona Symphony Orchestra Closes the Concert Season with Magic for Comox Valley and Campbell River Audiences \nStrathcona 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. \nKenji 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/. \nTam’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. \nAudiences 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. \nMany 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). \nThe 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.
