Théâtre français de Toronto is a professional theatre company presenting French-language classics and creations. (with English Surtitles)
Théâtre français de Toronto (TfT) is a reflection of its metropolis: a crossroads, a center of creativity open to plurality and a place of discovery. It is one of the most influential French-language theatre companies in Canada today. Since its founding in 1967, it has produced nearly 300 new original works and repertoire plays. In 2018-2019, TfT welcomed over 16,000 audience members from the GTA and beyond. The artistic season includes works for the general public, a youth series, dramaturgical development and workshops of new plays, as well as productions on tour.
It is the only professional French-language theatre company with a full season in Southern Ontario. Since its creation, TfT has been a meeting point for all francophones and francophiles living in the GTA and in southern Ontario, from as far away as Kingston, the Niagara Region, Barrie and Windsor. French is a second language for more than a quarter of our audience. TfT is very active with school boards and offers school matinees and special programmes geared to youth.
Since April 2005, TfT offers performances with English surtitles. Now a major attraction, this initiative enables TfT to facilitate a rapprochement between francophone and anglophone communities
