Laurentian Bank Proud to be Helping Light Maison Théâtre's 30th Candle

MONTREAL, Sept. 25, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Laurentian Bank is very proud of its partnership with Maison Théâtre, an institution dedicated to the dissemination of theatrical works among young people. This year is particularly special for Maison Théâtre, as it is celebrating its 30^th anniversary. To mark the occasion, no fewer than 15 plays will be presented — some geared to little ones as young as 18 months, and others to audiences in the 17-year-old age bracket. The productions will be performed on its own stage and at Théâtre Prospero.

"A cultural and theatrical institution that has successfully developed and prospered over three decades, Maison Théâtre is celebrating a great accomplishment this year that testifies to the outstanding quality of its productions and the exceptional talent of its creative teams," underlines Gladys Caron, Laurentian Bank's Vice-President of Public Affairs, Communications and Investor Relations. "In fact, the institution has been able to continuously renew itself through the originality of its programming, and it has admirably fulfilled its mission of developing the interest of youth and their parents in culture and the theatre. The Bank is delighted to be associated with this Montréal-based success story."

For their part, the members of Laurentian Bank's Little Heroes Club will once again be serving as ambassadors to help promote the participation of young audiences in this unique season by presenting the season calendar and taking part in the public vote.
