MISSION: Talisman has a vibrant, living mission: to produce English-language premières of Québécois plays for Montreal's public and students. We also passionately believe that Montreal's actors, designers, technicians, managers, and crew should be properly paid for their enrichment of our culture, and we work hard, year-round, to raise the funds to make this possible.

We have two unique strengths that allow us to bring Quebecois plays to English-speaking theatre-goers: we retain the essence of traditional Quebecois theatrical practice as part of our hybrid development process; and we have developed a talented bi-lingual team with its own distinctive artistic approach.

VISION: Over the next year, Talisman Theatre will be inviting new members to our Board of Directors with the goal of establishing strong footing for future fundraising. Additional funds will assist us not only in covering production and operating costs but also in extending our outreach to young people, students and minorities, through sponsor-subsidised tickets, etc.

Talisman Theatre is active in the development of Montreal's English-Language Artistic community. We are proud to be part of The Group of 5, a coalition of five professional theatre and dance-theatre companies in Montreal who are in the process of planning a permanent space for production and performance. In this we have the financial support of the three levels of government. This will enable the cost-benefits of sharing of physical resources and services and will assist us in raising our individual visibility. The Group of 5 includes: Dulcinea Langfelder & Co.; Imago Theatre; Playwrights' Workshop Montreal; Porte Parole; and Talisman Theatre.
