APRIL AT THE FRANCIS-GAG THEATRE: MUSIC, THEATRE & EMOTIONS
With the arrival of spring, April warms hearts and awakens the senses.
At the Théâtre Francis-Gag, we’ve crafted a program designed to delight especially your curious ears: music will take center stage in a thousand forms — from flamenco to object theatre, from staged readings to contemporary creations.
But that’s not all: theatre will also lend its voice to profound themes such as mental health, with a touching show about the experience of those living with bipolar disorder.
