Championing the Advocacy, Visibility, and Development of Quebec’s English-Language Theatre Community.
We lobby for the rights and sustainability of English speaking theatre artists in Quebec on a provincial and national level.
Advocacy
We highlight the work of artists and cultural workers through services like our online theatre calendar and our monthly publication "The Overture".
Visibility
We create accessible opportunities for English theatre artists and companies to network and connect with one another, as well as fine tune their skills in theatre making on and off the stage.
