Sid Williams Theatre in Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, Canada | Theatre

Welcome to Sid Williams Theatre in Courtenay, Comox Valley, British Columbia in Canada. At Sid Williams Theatre we strive, through leadership and innovation, to balance community and commercial performing arts, and to advocate arts and culture as well as business and tourism in our community.
The Sid Williams Theatre first came to life under the name of 'The Gaiety Theatre' in the 1920's and, soon after, 'The Bickle Theatre' in the 1930's. Originally opened as a state-of-the-art sound movie theatre, the stage of the Bickle saw a number of plays and musical events before turning into an auction house.
The Sid Williams Theatre has been serving Courtenay and the Comox Valley, British Columbia, for over 20 years as a performing arts facility, and has had a professional administration since 1992.
In 1998, the Sid was closed for some much needed renovations. After a few seismic tests, the City of Courtenay extended the original 1 million dollar budget to an incredible 2.5 million.
The renovations have extended the lobby, added a concession, a large ticket centre, 'family' viewing seats, an 144 seat balcony, many needed washrooms, a huge amount of dressing room spaces, and much, much more.
Now in the new millennium, the citizens of the Comox Valley are welcoming with open arms, the new Sid Williams Theatre.
