About us
Talisman Theatre is a Montreal-based, award-winning nonprofit theatre company, driven by its mission to stage cutting-edge and authentic English-language translations and premieres of contemporary Québec plays. Since its foundation in 2005, it has filled more than 10,000 seats for live performances. Talisman has two unique strengths that allow it to bring Quebec plays to English-speaking theatre goers: 1) retaining the essence of traditional Quebec theatrical practices as part of its hybrid development process; and 2) developing a talented bi-lingual team of actors, artists, and technicians, with a distinctive artistic approach. Believing in the power of theatre to inspire a more equitable and inclusive society, Talisman’s engagement is intercultural; working with contemporary issues and building commonality between all Montrealers, no matter their background. The goal is to bring the full experience of contemporary Quebec life to anglophone and allophone communities, whether newcomers to Canada or Montreal-born, all while stimulating dialogue between Montreal’s cultural minorities and Quebec’s Francophonie. Talisman takes pride in producing socially aware art that fosters a more inclusive society. Each year, the team at Talisman chooses a new social justice theme to explore on the stage. By amplifying the stories and perspectives of historically marginalized groups, our plays change the way audiences see themselves and each other.

✨Thank you Christine Lord, MBA! We are sad to announce that after 12 years of service, Christine Lord will be stepping down from her position as President of the Board of Directors. We would like to thank her for her dedication to Talisman Theatre: Christine has been a key figure in the shaping of Talisman Theatre over the past decade. Her unwavering support, strategic insight and infallible optimism will be greatly missed. We wish her all the best in her next steps! #talismantheatre #boardofdirectors #montrealtheatre #supportlocaltheatre
