Happy New Year!

After presenting an annual show, without fail, for half a century, the Troupe des Anciens was forced to disappoint you — our loyal public — and cancel the performances of Tartuffe that had been scheduled for April 2020. However, we have not given up on theatre, and hope to be able to invite you to our next show in the not too distant future.

We greatly appreciate your loyalty as, without your support, there would be no Troupe des Anciens. We wish you and yours a Happy New Year, one in which the virus that is affecting us all is no more than a distant memory.
