Read why experiences
make the best holiday gifts
One of the most fun Christmas gifts to receive are tickets to see a live show, especially if you get to go with the thoughtful person who gave them to you. And for the gift giver...hey, you get to share the gift you give! 

How about a pair of tickets to see a great comedy by famous Canadian writer, W.O. Mitchell? The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon will be at the Venables Theatre from February 3rd to February 11th. If you buy in advance you can purchase adult tickets for only $23 (students only $13). Want an even better deal? How about tickets to see Black Bonspiel along with our spring show, 7 Stories. If you buy tickets to both shows the price drops to ony $21 per person per show!


Use buttons below to see full show details and to purchase tickets online. Or, if you prefer a personal touch, the Venables Theatre Box Office at 6100 Gala Street in Oliver is open to serve you Tuesdays through Thursdays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. You can also purchase by phone during the same office hours by calling 250-498-1626.

Wullie MacCrimmon is in the fictional small town of Wildrose Alberta in the 1930s, where he lives to curl. He and his rink are so expert the Devil herself makes Wullie an offer hard to resist. The Devil (also a keen curler) promises Wullie that he'll win the Brier -- if on his death, Wullie will contract to come and curl in hell for the Devil’s team in the Celestial Brier.

Wullie makes the Faustian deal -- but with the proviso that he will save his soul if he and his Wildrose rink can beat the Devil's rink in a challenge match. And so, Wullie and his friends -- with the help of the Reverend Pringle -- take on the Devil's crew of Judas Iscariot, Macbeth and Guy Fawkes in the most crucial curling match of all time, a matter of after-life and death.
