Repercussion Theatre announces its 20th Anniversary Season
This season, Repercussion Theatre will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a grand program – one that reflects the company’s core mission to present its unique Montreal brand of free professional outdoor theatre to diverse communities across the Montreal region in English and in French. As always, this year’s productions will give valuable professional theatre experience to over fifty young artists, designers and technicians
Known primarily for its summer Theatre in the Parks / Théâtre en plein air tour, Repercussion Theatre, now offers classical theatre productions year-round along with acting classes, educational outreach, and professional workshops.
Repercussion Theatre is a not-for-profit organization that survives on the generosity of public and private supporters. That the company is celebrating its 20th anniversary in such spectacular fashion, speaks volumes to the place this cultural icon holds in the city.
Shakespeare Unplugged at the Atwater Library
April 1—19, 2008
The 20th season kicks off with a special two-week run of Shakespeare Unplugged at the Atwater Library in April. This extraordinary production features two actors performing some of William Shakespeare’s most intuitive and audacious texts in an intimate setting. This is theatre in its purest, most visceral form – a joy for audiences and a true test for actors.
The Tempest / La Tempête in parks around Montreal
July 22—August 17, 2008
It wouldn’t be summer in Montreal without Repercussion Theatre performing outdoors. The Theatre in the Parks / Théâtre en plein air 2008 tour will feature William Shakespeare's most theatrical play, The Tempest. This classic will include 25 performances, in English and French, performed in parks throughout the greater Montreal region.
