Cercle Molière

Founded in Winnipeg in 1925 by a group of amateurs, the Cercle Molière is the oldest active theatre company in Canada. Its programming, consisting entirely of French-language works, aims to promote French-language culture in the west and elsewhere in Canada, and to foster connections with the anglophone community. Despite times of financial instability, the Cercle carried on thanks to the support of Franco-Manitobans. In recognition of their contribution to Canadian and francophone theatre, the Cercle Molière and its members have received numerous awards and honours.
