message from THe Managing Director
RANDAL HUBER
Welcome to the most wondrous time of year! Thank you for
sharing part of your Christmas season with us as we cap off a
tremendous year. Shout outs are due to sponsors, donors,
volunteers, staff, artists and of course you, our audience, for
coming together to make 2015 a banner season—it’s been one
for the record books.
Season tickets are now available for our 24th season of live
professional theatre on Vancouver Island. As you’ve come to
expect, 2016 holds a diverse mix of comedies, dramas and
musicals. Season tickets make a perfect Christmas gift and
provide a full year of great theatrical escapes to look forward
to. They also ensure that you get the best seats at the best
possible price and don’t miss the next blockbuster that comes
along like 2015’s sold out Twist & Shout.
During the intermission or even after the show, please pop
by our SparkleJollyTwinkleJingley Silent Auction in the upper
lobby featuring a selection of excursions, adventures, and
artwork all looking for a home under your Christmas tree.
Now it’s time to turn off those cell phones and be sure to
behave… after all, Santa is in the building.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES
MARK DUMEZ
Let me start by thanking all of you for an incredible 2015 Season!
The enthusiasm, energy and vigour you’ve brought into this
gathering place and the shows at Chemainus have been
remarkable. Together, as partners in this creative work, we’ve
enjoyed a place where imagination rules the day and stories
sing. Thank you for your appetite for live, professional theatre in
Chemainus – and for your willingness to take the plunge into
our Mainstage shows, in the intimate Studio or with one of our
MARK DUMEZ
many Education or Outreach programs. Through it all, together,
we enrich the region, advance the arts, and build community
while examining and celebrating our unique place on
Vancouver Island.
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
In this holiday conclusion to 2015 – we get a bit silly. Ok – really
silly. Now on many top ten holiday films lists, ELF is a jubilant
celebration of innocence, hope and naivety. It invites us to see
the world through the eyes of the child. This Broadway musical
treatment builds on many of the film’s eccentric delights. In staging
the show we want to do the same. Christmas to the max! So,
feel free to take an elfie with Santa before the show, tap your
feet when Buddy clogs or try to say “Sparklejollytwinklejingley”
three times fast. We hope this show brings you laughter and
joy as we celebrate being human (or elfin) during this festive
time of hope, love and peace.
MARK DUMEZ Director
Mark is a proud resident of Vancouver Island and has enjoyed
directing Sherlock Holmes, Jeeves in Bloom, A Pretty Girl (A
Shayna Maidel), Delicious Lies, Harvest, The 39 Steps and
Amadeus for Chemainus Theatre. Other favourites include: A
Christmas Carol, Strindberg’s Easter, Anne, Mr. Pim Passes By
and Pet the Fish. He has collaborated with companies including
Theatre X, Pacific Theatre and TheatreOne to develop over a
dozen new plays. Favourite acting credits include: Mass Appeal,
Enchanted April, Queen Milli of Galt and Streetcar Named Desire.
