Théâtre la Seizième

An instigator of theatrical experiences, la Seizième delivers contemporary programming that engages its collaborators, the artistic community, and its audiences. The main French-language, professional theatre company in British Columbia, it has been catalyzing the development of the artistic landscape since 1974.

We foster a human-centered approach and build strong connections by offering a theatrical meeting ground where people and ideas converge. Our constant desire to innovate is reflected in bold programming that sparks reflection and inspires audiences to push their boundaries. Each performance is a testament to the quality of our work, an artistic experience where ideas flourish and art is lived intensely.

Since our creation, nearly one hundred inspiring and hard-hitting works of theatre have been created, produced or presented, garnering more than ninety nominations and prizes.
