Théâtre La Bordée

Théâtre La Bordée is a theatre organisation based in Québec City. According to its official history, it was founded in 1976 by a group of young actors who had just graduated from the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Québec: Claude Binet, Jean-Jacqui Boutet, Johanne Émond, Jacques Girard, Ginette Guay, Gaston Hubert and Pierrette Robitaille. The company states that it is the only theatre producer in Québec City to own its own creation and performance venue, and that each season, for nearly fifty years, audiences have seen the work of around a hundred Québec artists. Its first two artistic directors were Claude Binet and Jean-Jacqui Boutet; in 1996 Jack Robitaille became artistic director, and under his mandate a new hall designed specifically for theatre was built on rue Saint-Joseph in the Saint-Roch district, inaugurated in 2002. The company is preparing a 50th-anniversary season (2026–2027), officially launched at the media premiere of the show L'effet Lisa on 16 September 2026.

According to the official history page of Théâtre La Bordée, the company was founded in 1976 by a group of young actors who had just come out of the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Québec: Claude Binet, Jean-Jacqui Boutet, Johanne Émond, Jacques Girard, Ginette Guay, Gaston Hubert and Pierrette Robitaille. The page states that this new theatre immediately established itself through the creative strength and talent of its founders, and that thanks to the dynamism of its first two artistic directors, Claude Binet and Jean-Jacqui Boutet, La Bordée carved out an enviable place on Québec City's cultural scene. In 1996 Jack Robitaille became artistic director of the company; under his mandate a new hall — welcoming, modern and designed expressly for theatre — was built on rue Saint-Joseph in the heart of the Saint-Roch district, and the new hall was inaugurated in 2002. The company also states that it is the only theatre producer to own its creation and performance venue in Québec City, and that each season for nearly fifty years audiences have seen around a hundred Québec artists. A 50th-anniversary season (2026–2027) is presented on the official site, with activities to be officially launched at the media premiere of L'effet Lisa on 16 September 2026.
