Dear Friends,

We have prepared a terrific 43^rd season for you. Classic to a T!

There are all types of characters in occasionally tense, often amusing situations, in sometimes magical, sometimes historical, places, all for a single goal: to get you right in the heart. Not to hurt you, but rather so we can all learn more about our feelings, about who we and our contemporaries are.

We offer you a journey through time of a rather classic pattern. A little tour to France, with an original classic, The School for Wives by the great Molière! Visiting our neighbours to the south, we see Abraham Lincoln Goes to the Theatre. We certainly know what happens to him but this time it is reviewed and revised by the Québecois pen of Larry Tremblay, an American classic in the making. Together we will celebrate 40 years of Forever Yours, Mary Lou by the great Michel Tremblay… truly a classic! And we launch the season with Les Fridolinades. What a beautiful way to celebrate the centenary of the birth of the original Fridolin, Gratien Gélinas, father of Québec dramatic art.

Don’t tell me that these aren’t good reasons to subscribe!

See you at the theatre,

Guy Mignault,
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

LISTEN IN FRENCH. FOLLOW IN ENGLISH.

Théâtre français de Toronto offers a fully surtitled season subscription this year, with half of its performances presented with English surtitles. Thus, you can enjoy an evening at the theatre, in a francophone environment, with all your friends, family, and colleagues, no matter how well they speak French.

We hope that, thanks to the surtitles, you will discover and enjoy the great quality and creativity of francophone theatre and the diversity of TfT’s season. Anglophones and francophones entertained under the same roof. What a symbol of Toronto!
