Shows
Les fourberies de Scapin
Tuesday October 13 and 20, 2026
Grades 7 -12
Scapin—here and now—is it possible? Absolutely. Its timeless theme is rebellion: a servant taking revenge on his masters, or anyone pushing back against those in power. Léandre dreams of becoming an actor and living for love with Zerbinette, but his father Géronte, a powerful business leader, has other plans. With help from the crafty Scapin, he schemes to outwit him—and shake up the status quo.
Produced by Théâtre Cercle Molière
Written by Molière, contemporary adaptation by Sylvain Sabatié
Directed by Marie-Ève Fontaine
L'hiver de nos vies
Tuesday November 17 and 24, 2026
Grades 9 -12
The pandemic brought uncertainty, isolation, and loss, while also creating space for collective memory. In 2019, the author began collecting testimonies from six seniors in Manitoba to preserve these intimate stories. From these encounters—including one with her mother—emerged L’hiver de nos vies, a theatrical experience that is both personal and universal.
Co-produced by France Adams and Théâtre Cercle Molière
Written by France Adams
Petite Ondine
January 13, 14 and 15, 2027
Grades 2 - 6
In the depths of the ocean, Petite Ondine, daughter of the Ocean King, feels like a stranger among her own kind. Her only wish is to discover the world above. But in the merfolk kingdom, it is forbidden to swim to the surface before the age of fifteen. In secret, she goes to see the Sea Witch, the only one who can grant her wish. The sorceress warns her: to reach land, she will have to give up a part of herself. Will she find her place among humans?
Anaïs Pellin freely reimagines Andersen’s famous tale, sprinkling it with a touch of emancipatory feminism. Through a heroine driven by independence who pushes against the limits of a life too narrow for her, this coming-of-age story—enhanced by object theatre and an enchanting musical atmosphere—explores the search for self and the choice of one’s destiny.
Produced by Kleine Compagnie and Théâtre de la Seizième (Vancouver)
Written by Anaïs Pellin, based on Andersen’s fairy tale

While scrolling through social media, she meets Félix, aka Filou, an aspiring rapper her age who creates a new online identity to escape cyberbullying.

But while Cody longs for honesty and genuine connections, Félix becomes consumed by fame, changing completely in the process — and driving them apart.

Summer 2020. An artist father whose projects have all been cancelled sets off on a road trip with his six-year-old daughter, travelling from southeastern New Brunswick to the Laurentians. Along the way, he realizes that being a parent means staying in conversation with the child you once were — and revisiting your own grief.

There are two of them. Yes, two.

Who are they? We don’t quite know. Giants? Not quite.
Are they lost? Not quite either.
Beneath their feet, there are two… times two… times two.
Small, small, very small.
What are they? We don’t quite know…
…but… maybe we’ll find out… and maybe you will too!
