Théâtre du Rideau Vert

The Théâtre du Rideau Vert is a theatre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located at 4664 Saint Denis Street in the borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal.

Founded in 1949 by Yvette Brind'Amour and Mercedes Palomino, the Théâtre du Rideau Vert was the first professional French-language theatre in Canada. It was also one of the first Quebec theatres to invest in the creation of local works by fostering the emergence of Felix Leclerc, Marie-Claire Blais, Gratien Gélinas, Michel Tremblay, Antonine Maillet, etc. The Théâtre du Rideau Vert is also where Michel Tremblay created the Joual piece Les Belles-Soeurs in 1968.

After working in various venues, the Théâtre du Rideau Vert settled permanently in 1960 on Saint Denis Street in Montreal, in the old Stella Theatre. Since then, the theatre has been renovated twice.
