In an Ocean of English
Keeping a language afloat
by Guy Mignault
Dear readers, I was asked to participate in The Charlebois Post to talk a bit about what it is to run a French theatre company in an ocean of English speaking people.
First off I must say that for any theatre company to exist for 45 years, it is a feat in itself… but for a French theatre company to exist and thrive in French in Toronto for 45 years, this company deserves a medal!
My name is Guy Mignault, I am the Artistic Director of Le Théâtre français de Toronto. I arrived in Toronto 15 years ago as AD on what was to be a two year contract. As I often say, I forgot to go back to Montréal.
