Theater Club in January

Come join us for the first meeting of the new Theater Club at the French Library, a place to read, watch, discuss and recite contemporary and classic French plays with fellow enthusiasts! At the Theater Club, we'll discuss a different play each month and read excerpts aloud to each other. 

This club strives to foster discussion and dialogue around a love of contemporary theater and a chosen play: attendees are wholeheartedly encouraged to come and practice speaking in French. No acting skill required, and no public performances are planned!

Our first meeting features the play Fallait pas le dire by Salomé Lelouch. Created in 2021 at the Théâtre de la Renaissance in Paris, this play about what can and cannot be said in modern French society was nominated for multiple Molière prizes including best comedy of the year and best script. 

Club participants are asked to read the play beforehand and bring their copy to the meeting for discussion and recitation. The text is available directly from the publisher, L'avant-scène théâtre, or from various book sellers: FNAC, Librairie Théâtrale, Amazon, etc. Plan ahead and be sure to allow time for delivery. The French Library also has one non-circulating copy.
