TEATRO LA QUINDICINA THEATRE SOCIETY

So here are the facts. Teatro is a troupe. A theatre troupe. We are the plays of Stewart Lemoine. Our home is the Varscona Theatre in Edmonton, Canada. In 1982 Mr. Lemoine founded Teatro with an intrepid group of colleagues who all shared one great commonality. A sense of ha-ha. That same group of colleagues has grown over the course of over 30 years into one of the most original and dynamic ensembles in Canada; creating a completely unique way of producing not only the comedies of Stewart Lemoine but new plays from our troupe and vintage comedies as well. Each season, which runs from May to October, Teatro produces 4-5 plays ranging from broad farce and screwball to human and situational comedy, from Lemoine's canon and his new works to new works from our ensemble and vintage comedies from the last mid-century. The key word is COMEDY- in all its shapes sizes and hues. The other key word at Teatro is language. We love words. Words and dialogue. When you come to one of our shows expect characters to talk to each other. They may say funny things, heartfelt things, or, well, insanely funny things... but there will be stories told through language. For us, that is theatre. Theatre that's a riot of fun!
