Théâtre du Rideau Vert
The Théâtre du Rideau Vert is a theater in Montreal . It is located at 4664 Rue Saint-Denis in the Le Plateau-Mont-Royal arrondissement .
Founded in 1949 by actresses Yvette Brind'Amour and Mercedes Palomino, the Théâtre du Rideau Vert ("Theater of the Green Curtain") is Canada's oldest professional French-language theater. It was also one of the first theaters in the province of Québec to specifically promote the francophone theater scene, with works by Félix Leclerc , Marie-Claire Blais , Gratien Gélinas , Michel Tremblay and Antonine Maillet, among others .
After the theater company had used various halls in the early years (Compagnons de Saint-Laurent, Monument-National, Gesù, L'Anjou), it definitely took over the former Théâtre Stella on Rue Saint-Denis in 1960. Since then, the building has been renovated and rebuilt twice. The theater hall can seat 426 spectators.
