Theater Club in May

Come join us for the 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 May meeting features the 2023 play Les Marchands d'étoiles by Anthony Michineau.

June 1942, life continues as usual in a Parisian fabric warehouse. Raymond Martineau, the boss who seems to be taken straight out of a Pagnol play, has no success at imposing his authority over either his daughter or his wife. And then there's Joseph, his youngest employee, whose father is Breton but whose mother is Jewish. And lastly we have Louis, his oldest employee, whose new friend is a Nazi collaborator of the worst kind. But aside from that... life continues as usual.
