About

If you love to act, sing and dance; then there is no other choice.

Nestled on beautiful Vancouver Island, in the truly remarkable Comox Valley is a summer theatre program like no other. 40 Students will come together and prepare  A FULL LENGTH MUSICAL, work with three theatre professionals, and make friends that they will treasure forever. For some students, CYMC Musical Theatre is the highlight of the year. A unique combination of hard work, relaxation, learning, and friendship like no other. To cap the weeks of preparation we will perform Sweeney Todd six times in Courtenay BC and then take the show on the road across Vancouver Island.

CYMC Musical Theatre’s summer season kicks off with a rigorous set of professional-like theatre auditions. Students will have the opportunity to strut their stuff and vie for role of their choice. There’s no pre-casting and all the roles in Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd will be up for grabs as of July 3.

Be part of a touring production!

Last year we took our production of RENT on a tour of Vancouver Island for the first time. This year we will do the same thing again with up to 4 additional performances in Duncan and Victoria. Our initial performances will take place at our home theatre, The Sid Williams Theatre located in the heart of downtown Courtenay, BC

Make friends that will last a lifetime.

CYMC Musical Theatre is really an experience to treasure forever. Our students have made friends that become part of their extended famillies. If you feel like an outsider, chances are you will find a welcome home in our non discriminatory and inclusive environment of learning.
