We pride ourselves in being one of the hardest working theatres in the country earning almost all our revenue at the box office and in the dining room and gift shop but every year it gets harder to balance the budget and deliver you the experience you deserve.

You can support the Chemainus Theatre Festival by participating in any one of our Membership Programs: Individual Membership, Corporate Support, Capital Campaign, Planned Giving or Golden Neighbour Program – together we can accomplish great things!

To become a member, or for information on Member benefits, contact our Development Coordinator at sponsorship@chemainustheatre.ca or 250-246-9800 ext 724.

From the beginning, the Chemainus Theatre has been led by a multidisciplinary Board of Directors who volunteer their time to provide the Theatre with its strategic direction and support the Theatre’s activities and programs with expert consultation and advice.

Our volunteer corps of 160 members also serves in the Costume Shop, at the Theatre as coat check, ambassadors, and ushers, at our Administration Office, and on committees like the organizing committee for our annual benefit gala. With nearly 7,000 volunteer hours in 2013 dedicated to the Theatre, we can truly say that we cannot open our doors to patrons without the dedication of our volunteers.

Our volunteers hail from all across the Cowichan Valley and Nanaimo Region as well as Victoria. Whether it’s for a few hours each month or several hours each week, our volunteers are integral to our not-for-profit arts company.

We are currently looking for volunteers to help with reception duties in our Administration Office and at our Front of House. For opportunities on how you can volunteer your time, please contact our Development Coordinator at 250.246.9800 ext. 724 or volunteer@chemainustheatre.ca.
