Théâtre Desjardins is a performing arts venue in the LaSalle borough of Montreal, housed in the Cégep André-Laurendeau building at 1111 Rue Lapierre. It offers a varied programme that includes theatre, storytelling, movement, song, music, variety, humour and family shows, so visitors with different tastes can find something to suit an evening out.
What to expect
The main hall is the Salle Jean-Grimaldi, where most live performances take place. The venue also screens films under its Ciné-clap series and hosts the Les Grands Explorateurs series, which adds a different kind of programme to the calendar. Before or after a show, the Côté bar offers a place to sit, talk and wind down.
Getting there
Parking is free on show nights, and electric vehicle charging stations are available. Those coming by bike can use the BIXI station on site, and bus 113 stops at the Cégep André-Laurendeau, which makes the venue reachable without a car.
Planning your visit
The box office is open Tuesday through Saturday, and it also opens three hours before each performance. Because the programme changes, it is worth checking the venue's website at theatredesjardins.com for current shows, times and tickets before you go.
