Employer Profile

Infinithéâtre stages exciting, entertaining, relevant theatre that explores and reflects the issues, challenges, and possibilities of contemporary Québec from the perspective of its diverse English-language minority. Our work is driven by the fundamental belief that theatre that speaks to and about the lives, the hopes, and the challenges of its home community has the best possibility of creating an electric connection between stage and audience that is the essence of great theatre.

Infinithéâtre is the one theatre in Québec whose mission is to develop, promote, produce, and broker plays written or adapted by Québec writers and Indigenous writers from within the territory called Canada. We do this because we believe fundamentally that producing our own writers will generate subject matter and themes relevant to Montréal and Québec and result in the strongest possible engagement and live interaction with our audience.
