  • Talisman Theatre
    Talisman Theatre is an award-winning, Montreal-based production company operating since 2006--celebrating our fifth year of operation in 2011! Our mission is to translate and produce English-language premieres of contemporary French-Canadian plays for Montreal's non-francophone public and students.

    The Talisman process pays great attention to translation and development to ensure that the essence of French-Canadian culture--all of its angst, irony, humour and idiom--is preserved as completely as possible for our audience to savour. Through this process Talisman offers our audience a truly unique and authentic experience.

    Lyne Paquette, Talisman's bilingual Artistic and Executive Director, founded the company with Emma Tibaldo (now Artistic and Executive Director of Playwright's Workshop Montreal) after graduating from the National Theatre School of Canada in Set Design. Lyne has designed the critically acclaimed sets for all of Talisman's productions.

    As a professional company we work with professional writers, translators, directors, actors, and crew. All members of our team are, typically, bilingual Montreal-based artists with experience working in both the French and English theatre milieu. We work year-round to ensure that our artists receive the respect that is due to them.

    Talisman is excited about touring its productions outside of Montreal and looks forward to exploring co-producing opportunities with companies outside of Quebec. Talisman is funded by: Canada Council for the Arts, Heritage Canada, Conseil des Arts et des lettres Québec, Conseil des arts de Montréal, private foundations and individual donors.
