Theatre BC’s North Island Zone Festival is being hosted this year by Portal Players at the Capitol Theatre in Port Alberni from Monday to Saturday, May 20 – 25, 2024.
We are excited to have Vancouver Island’s own Robinson Wilson as our adjudicator.
Each performance will begin at 7:30 PM at the Capitol Theatre (Monday – Friday); Coffee Critiques will be held at the Port Alberni Blacksheep Rugby Club (3460 Argyle St, Tuesday – Saturday, 9:30 AM – noon) each morning after the performance and are open to Theatre BC members and interested members of the public by donation.
Awards Luncheon will be held at the Best Western Barclay (4277 Stamp Ave.) on Saturday, May 25, with doors opening at 1 pm; awards will begin at 1:30 with lunch being served afterwards. Tickets are $40. The winning production will go on to represent North Island Zone at Theatre BC’s Mainstage, being held in Chilliwack in July.
