Theater Club in May

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 third meeting features the 2017 play "Edmond" by Alexis Michalik, winner of 5 Molière awards. The play tells the story of Edmond Rostand, who tries to convince the great actor Coquelin to play in his next play. A heroic comedy, in rhyme, ready in time for the holidays. There's just one problem: he hasn't written it yet. For now, he only has the title: Cyrano de Bergerac.

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 April 17.  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.
