Theater Club in March

Come join us for 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 second meeting features the play "Jacques et son maître" by Milan Kundera. Created in 1971, the play examines the concepts of free will, predetermination, and moral responsibility for bad acts. The servant Jacques and his aristocratic Master retell tales of their past romantic misadventures and question their own agency in these stories.

Club participants are asked to read the play beforehand and bring their copy to the meeting for discussion and recitation. Please, purchase the text through our partner, MEP Education, here. Note: Plays will start being shipped after February 27.  After this date, it should take 2 business days for you to get it on your mailbox.  The French Library also has one non-circulating copy.

Please, keep in mind that a new link is created for each event and a new registration is needed.
