History, Mandate, and Mission
History
Founded in 1985, La Troupe du Jour (LTDJ) is the only professional French-language theatre company in Saskatchewan. To this end, it plays an essential role in the Fransaskois cultural landscape.
La Troupe du Jour asserts its artistic presence in French-speaking communities throughout the province, thanks to touring shows that reach either the general public or school circles, and thanks to the dramaturgical support and theatrical training that it offers.
The company has developed solid programming that meets its mandate and now defines itself as the main French-language and professional theatre organization in Saskatchewan and one of the 17 professional French-language theatres active outside Quebec.
Since its creation, the company has produced more than eighty plays, half of which have been original creations or adaptations of original works by authors from the province. Thus, the development of this dramaturgy allows LTDJ to present to its audience texts that reflect the provincial realities.
