A Midwinter's Dream Holiday Campaign
Warm Memories of Shakespeare-in-the-Park
Keeping the theatre flame burning in 2024!
Our 2023 summer Shakespeare-in-the-Park tour was another unforgettable Repercussion experience! Bravely facing ongoing fluctuations in climate, funding, and art-making conditions, we were proud to bring our eco-conscious production of Cymbeline to parks across Montreal and beyond. Now, as we and the parks take a snow-covered repose, we’re reminiscing about summers past and dreaming of summers to come!
This holiday season, we were able to raise over $6 000 thanks to the generous donations of our supporters. If you missed our campaign and would still like to donate we encourage you to click here to learn how!
Thank you!

For over 30 years, Repercussion Theatre has been giving emerging theatre-makers their first professional gig as part of our Shakespeare-in-the-Park tour. It’s not hyperbole to say we’ve helped to kickstart hundreds of careers.
Our alumni have gone on to work in and lead theatres across the country, as well as in television, film, circus, the video game industry, and much more.
In the company’s early years, the entire cast and crew were often composed of recent theatre school graduates. Now we focus on bringing together established and emerging artists, to provide meaningful mentorship opportunities and to allow everyone to learn from each other. But young talent is still at the heart of what we do, and we hire 10-20 emerging artists and production personnel every summer.
For so many of them, working with us is just the beginning – and we’re so proud when we get to say, “We knew them when…”
We are passionate about potential. We love taking a chance on new talent. And we are proud to be the first step in so many long careers.
