Historique

Fondé en 1967.

Since its creation in 1967, Théâtre français de Toronto (TfT) has become one of the most important French-​language theatres outside of Québec, with nearly 240 productions to its name. Today, TfT has almost a thousand subscribers and welcomes nearly 11,500 spectators each season from all over the GTA and Southwestern Ontario.

TfT has played at the Berkeley Street Theatre since 1990. It offers its francophone and francophile public a varied repertoire that includes new work, Canadian and international pieces, and the great classics.

Launched in April 2005, surtitled performances are now a major attraction that enables francophones to invite friends and family who do not speak French, as they give all theatre lovers an opportunity to discover French-​language theatre.
