Founded in 1955, the Théâtre de Quat'Sous is one of Montréal's oldest theatre companies after the Théâtre du Rideau Vert and the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde. The smallest of the grand theatres, with 170 seats, has been home to several decisive moments of creativity and daring in Quebec's cultural landscape, making it an almost mythic place. The old building housing the theatre was demolished in 2008, to give way to a new one, inaugurated in 2009.
