Our Mission

Infinite vision. Infinite possibilities.

We believe that live theatre is an essential part of a society's democratic discourse, that great theatre speaks to and about its own community. Theatre is a collective experience that must be both an entertainment and a reflection of and on significant social and political issues.

Hence Infinithéâtre develops, promotes, produces and brokers new work. We seek out innovative Québec plays, playwrights and new theatrical styles. Great theatre begins with great writing. We challenge writers from other media -- journalists, poets, and novelists -- to write for the stage. We tackle and adapt classic plays when the themes and characters are relevant.

Anglophone artistic expression is Infinithéâtre's mother tongue. However, as life in the great creative crucible of Montréal is primarily in French, inevitably some of our work is bilingual, even multilingual. Occasionally we also produce plays in French. Language, and the paradox of creating in English in Québec, of being a linguistic minority within a linguistic minority, helps shape our identity and fuels our creative work.

With the wired universe dominating the mindset and quality of contemporary life, we strive to celebrate live human communication. We believe it is especially important to make sure a younger generation of theatregoers has a chance to experience live theatre.

Founded in 1988 as Théâtre 1774, we have a unique record of longevity and achievement for an alternative English-language theatre in Montréal. With our renaissance and name change in 1997 to Infinithéâtre, we have assumed a leadership role in the relève of English theatre in Québec.
