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.
WhAt’s iN A NAme?It celebrates our brand, but there is deeper meaning. 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.
Celebrating artistic creativity and cultural diversity. Enriching our community.

Infectious roots rock with a classic rock soul and a country heart, The Matinée, whose four members have known each other since high school, recalls countless roots-rockers from Ryan Adams to The Sadies. With a live show generally known to be an uproar of stomping, clapping, and blazing chops, The Matinée have plenty of great group vocals and harmonies, and some fantastic guitar work.
“Rarely have I experienced a band that delivers such a complete musical panorama from the get-go as does The Matinée – outstanding songs, a fantastic stage show, and a classic look and sound.” – Grant Lawrence, CBC Radio 3

An Arts Club Theatre Company ProductionMusic and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff MarxBook by Jeff Whitty
Irreverently witty and outright uproarious, Avenue Q is the musical story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college graduate who arrives in New York City looking for love, a job, and his purpose in life. The only neighbourhood he can afford is the multicultural Avenue Q, where Sesame Street-esque puppets rub shoulders with humans. Part felt, part flesh, Avenue Q is packed with songs that are surprisingly poignant and only occasionally PC.
WArNiNG: Full puppet nudity & other vulgarities will induce laughter.
