Théâtre du Rideau Vert

The Théâtre du Rideau Vert is a theatre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Founded in 1949 by Yvette Brind'Amour and Mercedes Palomino, the Théâtre du Rideau Vert was the first professional French-language theatre in Canada.

It was also one of the first Quebec theatres to invest in the creation of local works by fostering the emergence of Felix Leclerc, Marie-Claire Blais, Gratien Gélinas, Michel Tremblay, Antonine Maillet, etc.

After working in various venues (Compagnons de Saint-Laurent, Monument-National, Gesù, and l'Anjou), the Théâtre du Rideau Vert settled permanently in 1960 on Saint Denis Street in Montreal, in the old Stella Theatre.

In January 2015, Filiatrault and the Théâtre du Rideau Vert were criticized by a coalition of Montreal arts groups for a year-end production in which a white actor portrayed the black hockey player P.K.
