This newest addition to Ladysmith has proven to be an attraction for locals, out-of-towner, and a favorable outlet for the youth. A substantial and economical alternative to the Nanaimo and Duncan theaters, Island Cinema Ladysmith offers the same quality and comfort with the added personal service (with a smile). The cinema is locally owned and operated by Rahim and Salima Manji who originated from the east coast and more recently from Qualicum Beach.

Theater amenities include a full concession stand and an arcade room. The 85 seat cinema feature air conditioning, dolby surround sound, stadium style seating with offset seats. The theater is always available for birthday parties, meetings and community gatherings for a fraction of the cost of other venues. The newly installed digital projector is the perfect tool for Power Point presentations, viewing of home movies, and playing interactive video games.

Island Cinema Ladysmith shows new release movies that play every day for a week (1-4 shows daily) and change every Friday. Before each show, on-screen advertising features local businesses and community events. Admission rates stay a constant $5 and $7 and concession stand combos start at $5 for a popcorn, 16oz drink and a regular size candy bar.

The cinema is located in downtown Ladysmith in the back of the library building (740 1st Ave). Please call 245-4225 for show times, details on advertising opportunities, and theater rental availability.
