Abstract

Sathya Rao and Larry Gagné investigate the different uses of the notion of “community theatre” in light of the many institutional and economic constraints exerted on Edmonton-based Francophone theatre between 1970 and 1990. Sometimes synonymous with amateur theatre and sometimes overlapping with professional theatre, community theatre is in search of a renewed grassroots identity. !As a result of various circumstances in the early 1990s, community theatre endorses not only a peculiar dramaturgy, but also a new institutional framework.
