| About Us |
| Alliance | Théâtre de la Chandelle Verte is an alliance of professional artist-scholars dedicated to broadening the appreciation for theatre performed in French. | ||
Education |
We believe in the educational and enrichment value of French theatre performed in the United States. | ||
| Purpose | Théâtre de la Chandelle Verte is committed to the mission of promoting French-language theatre to university audiences nationwide, and to the creation of performances that are visually spectacular and intellectually stimulating. | ||
| History | We are trained in both the theory and practice of French language theatre. Since 2001, the company has created and toured innovative interpretations of works such as Jean-Paul Sartre’s Huis Clos and Pierre Corneille’s L’Illusion Comique. The company was founded by four PhD French graduates of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, all specialists in French and Francophone literature and/or theatre, who had been collaborating since 1991 on a variety of French and Francophone productions. Audiences are guaranteed to learn about the vital and imaginative place of French theatre today. | ||
Théâtre de la Chandelle Verte is a federal tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization. |
