A swashbuckling adventure for the whole family in Robin Hood, Prince of Outlaws! Join Robin Hood and his loyal band of Merry Men in this fresh and fun retelling by local playwright Ben Francis. When the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham tries to force the spirited Lady Annet into a loveless marriage, it’s up to the wandering minstrel Alan-a-Dale to seek help from the legendary outlaw of Sherwood Forest. Alongside the brave Little John, the ever-cheerful Much, and the rest of the Merry Men, Robin Hood sets out on a daring rescue mission filled with clever disguises, narrow escapes, and thrilling sword fights. With laughter, heart, and just the right touch of mischief, this lively and humorous adaptation celebrates friendship, freedom, and the fight for what’s right. A timeless tale brought to life with energy and charm, perfect for adventurers of all ages. Make a day of it! Our performances are the perfect way to enjoy summer on the island. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a date night, or a gathering with friends, it’s an ideal way to savour the season. Bring a picnic, chairs, a blanket, and soak up the sun with some dazzling productions!

Island Summer Theatre Presents: As You Like It
2025-07-22 18:30 - 20:00 | Transfer Beach Amphitheatre
As You Like It (Ladysmith)

by William Shakespeare

Live
Get ready for an unforgettable summer of theatre under the island skies! We’re thrilled to bring you another season of spectacular outdoor performances with two exciting productions that promise magic, laughter, and adventure for all ages. Shakespeare’s beloved comedy gets a totally rad makeover in this high-energy, 1980s-inspired production of As You Like It! Banished from the court of Nanaimo, Rosalind escapes to the Forest of Cedar disguised as a man—only to discover freedom, friendship, and love in the most unexpected places. Alongside her cousin Celia and their loyal companion Touchstone, she encounters a cast of quirky characters, tangled romances, and mistaken identities, all unfolding in a neon-lit world of leg warmers, boomboxes, and glittering disco balls. This bold reimagining brings Shakespeare’s wit and warmth to life with dazzling dance numbers and a soundtrack of iconic ’80s hits, making the Forest of Cedar feel more alive—and more electric—than ever before. It’s a heartwarming tale of transformation, self-discovery, and the wild, wonderful nature of love. Make a day of it! Our performances are the perfect way to enjoy summer on the island. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a date night, or a gathering with friends, it’s an ideal way to savour the season. Bring a picnic, chairs, a blanket, and soak up the sun with some dazzling productions! Catch us at two stunning outdoor venues: Transfer Beach Amphitheatre, Ladysmith: July 22–24 Maffeo Sutton Park, Nanaimo: July 30–August 3 Grab your sunglasses, and join us for a season of romance, adventure, and open-air theatre you won’t forget!

"Unleashed" by Ellen Brandson at the Ladysmith Gallery
2025-06-27 10:00 - 2025-07-06 16:00 | Ladysmith Gallery, 32 High Street, Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada
From the moment Ellen first held an artist brush and brushed paint around, she knew she had found something powerful that she had to pursue and explore. Working out of her home studio in Ladysmith, Ellen is always experimenting and nurturing her desire to create.
Her paintings are influenced by music and the result shows up on her large size canvases and cradle boards in a style best-described as abstract expressionism. Her art is her own personal language, exposed through painting and looking for connection.
