Description

Give your students the opportunity to experience a theatrical performance in French at the Théâtre Servus Credit Union Theatre in the Cité francophone (8627 rue Marie-Anne Gaboury, Edmonton). After the performance, students will have the chance to express themselves during the Q/A session with the actors. Our performances can be presented with English surtitles to assist language acquisition and comprehension.

Synopsis:

The world premiere of Sophie Gareau-Brenan's play! This story of blueberry muffins and lost socks transports the audience into the world of a small French-speaking community. After years of adventures abroad, Louise returns home to find her roots and takes over the laundry business that belonged to her grandmother. She also reunites with her childhood best friend, Maxime, who had always worked in his family’s bakery without changing a single ingredient. His world is turned upside down when he goes through a breakup with his girlfriend, Marie-Josée, a kindergarten teacher who's looking for more creativity in her life. Guillaume, a renowned musician, also returns to stay with his friend Maxime, since he lacks inspiration in the big city. At the heart of this play we find themes of discovery and reunion, love and friendship.
