As the theatre launches rehearsals for 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels', our big summer musical, we’ll also be busy removing the dirty & rotten from the exterior of our building.

This long overdue project is planned for two phases – May 19 to June 9 leading up to the opening of 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels', and the first three weeks of September after the peak busyness of summer settles.

This work is made possible by Chemainus Theatre’s incredible audience and project sponsor Lealand Contracting.
