A complete and plentiful program consisting of 15 shows for families and school and preschool groups
The Maison Théâtre has announced the return of a full season in its hall. Composed of 15 shows aimed at young people from 12 months to 17 years old, this vast 2021-2022 program will run from September 25, 2021, to June 19, 2022.
Among these 15 shows, new creations are eager to be brought to the stage. The theatre will sometimes be festive and catchy, sometimes more contemplative or impactful, always bringing forth sensitive and aesthetic experiences, emotions, creating encounters for audiences and reflections on this beautiful and complex world that is ours.
As a guarantee of equitable access to art, school trips to cultural settings will continue fully this year. Throughout the season, the Maison Théâtre will once again welcome families, but also primary and secondary schools, as well as preschool groups.
THREE NEW CREATIONS EXPECTED THIS FALL
