It has enjoyed financial stability and assembled a professional team of artists and administrators, presenting a solid program in keeping with its mandate of creation, production, presentation and artistic training. In this way, it has gradually expanded its professional program and today presents itself as the principal professional French-language theatre company in Saskatchewan and one of 13 active professional Francophone theatres outside Quebec.In its 25-year history, the company has produced more than 80 plays, half of which are original creations or adaptations of original works by authors from Saskatchewan.
