The stage of the Bickle Theatre was used for plays and musical events before it became an auction house.
In 1998, the theatre closed for extensive renovations and earthquake upgrading.
The current technical director is Patrick Emery; he has won numerous lighting design awards for his work with the Courtenay Little Theatre.
The Sid Williams Theatre created The Blue Circle Series in 2019, a series of online and live concerts spanning from September to early June annually, showcasing professional talent from all over Canada.
The circle is sacred to many cultures, and beckons the viewer to be drawn in, like a spotlight on stage.
