Founded in 1974 in Caraquet, the Théâtre Populaire d’Acadie is the oldest professional French-language theatre company in Acadie. The TPA produces original creations, contemporary theatre, and texts from the classical repertoire, both for the general public and young people, a variety of shows inspired by several artistic currents while giving pride of place to Acadian dramaturgy. With more than 125 productions or co-productions to its credit, including more than twenty for young audiences, the company tours throughout New Brunswick with each of its shows and, more and more often, elsewhere in Canada and Europe.
