Théâtre La Roulotte is the oldest children’s theatre in Québec. This travelling theatre was founded in 1952 by actor and director Paul Buissonneau and Claude Robillard, director of Montréal’s parks department.

Each year, close to 50 captivating free shows are staged at more than 40 parks in the city, to families’ delight.

Since 2016, the scripts have been created or adapted following a call for tenders, organized in cooperation with the Centre des auteurs dramatiques. 

Théâtre La Roulotte is produced by Montréal in partnership with the National Theatre School of Canada and the Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Montréal. It is funded under the 2021-2024 Cultural development agreement between the city and the Québec government.

Parallel activities 

Theatrical mediation workshops to enhance French with the theme of the play are offered in organizations. Book mediation activities (Livres dans la rue program) are also offered in parks before performances.  

The play to be presented in summer 2024 will be announced in early May on La Roulotte Facebook page (in French).
