Le Petit Théâtre de Sherbrooke

Le Petit Théâtre's mission is to develop the practice and attendance of theater for young audiences by placing words and dramaturgy at the center of each of its research projects, and by giving multidisciplinary teams the creative conditions to experiment with a dialogue between musical, visual and physical languages. A theater that creates and presents works that allow a great freedom of reading, that leave room for interpretation to the sensibility and intelligence of each young spectator, and that trusts their capacity to explore new forms. A theater of hybrid forms that decompartmentalizes practices, always on the lookout for new ways to tell stories, to explode the narrative, to challenge its audience by playing with the codes of representation, inviting them to plunge into universes where they must invest their imaginations. A theater committed to showcasing the talent of local artists, while creating new collaborations with foreign companies, thus multiplying opportunities for exchange between creators from other horizons and artistic disciplines. Since its founding in 1973, Le Petit Théâtre de Sherbrooke has created over 90 shows, in French and English, presented in Quebec, Canada, the United States, France, Belgium, Scotland, Switzerland and South America.
