Description
Intended for Grade 11 and 12 Francophone and French immersion students (10 to 15 students per class), this project allows them to subscribe to our mainstage theatre season (up to 4 shows Koulounisation, Je viendrai moins souvent, De glace, Ce que je sais de vrai) at reduced cost and to have access to the Francophone culture outside of the school setting.
Cultural outreach sessions about the shows are also offered as part of the program for participating classes.
Projet Pont is aimed at 11th and 12th-grade students.
The participating school forms a group of motivated students (generally between 10 and 15) who commit to attending 4 out of 4 shows offered this season (Koulounisation, Je viendrai moins souvent, De glace, Ce que je sais de vrai). In the days following each performance, a representative from the company visits the school to lead a 30-minute discussion about the play. This is an opportunity for students to delve deeper into the themes of the works and ask their questions.
At the end of the school year, each participant writes a report on their experience (about 150 words), which is sent to Théâtre la Seizième.
Projet Pont requires the involvement of one or more teachers who organize the activity and accompany the students to the theater. At the beginning of the year, the teacher recruits the students, and then before each performance, collects the dates they have chosen and communicates them to our programming agent. Since some evenings fill up quickly, it is preferable to inform us of the chosen dates at least 3 weeks in advance.
The teacher in charge of the group will receive electronic tickets via email. It is imperative that students who cannot attend any of the performances notify Théâtre la Seizième so that their tickets can be reissued.
