    Théâtre de la Manufacture and Théâtre de La Licorne

    The histories of the Théâtre de La Manufacture—a Montréal theatre company—and the Théâtre de La Licorne—a Montréal theatre—are inseparable. The story begins in 1975, when the Théâtre de La Manufacture was founded by Claude Maher, Christiane Raymon, Louise Gamache, Jean-Denis Leduc and other young actors who wanted to present contemporary Québec drama to Québec audiences. (The company’s name refers to the building that it was originally supposed to move into, a former olive processing plant--manufacture d’olives, in French.)

    Théâtre de Quat'Sous

    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.
