Dear Friends of La Troupe des Anciens de l’Université de Toronto,
It is with deep sadness that we write to announce the sudden passing of Professor Emeritus Paulette Collet on the night of February 13, 2026. She worked on L’Avare right up until her final moments, directing a rehearsal just hours before her death. To honour her memory, we have decided to go ahead with the production of L’Avare as she would have wanted. The production will take place on April 16 and 17, 2026 at the Isabel Bader Theatre, Victoria College, University of Toronto. We wish to pay tribute to our dear Madame Collet, and continue the tradition she established nearly 60 years ago.
The Board of Directors of La Troupe des Anciens
