Les Semaines Théâtrales: Theatre for All in Marquise

For over twenty years, the Semaines Théâtrales in Marquise have offered an annual event dedicated to popular and accessible theatre. Organized by the association En Bonnes Compagnies, this festival takes place every autumn at the Château Mollack, a characterful residence that provides a remarkable setting for performances and artistic encounters.

A Rich and Varied Program

Over about ten days, Les Semaines Théâtrales offer a dense and diverse program: contemporary and classic plays, staged readings, dance performances, one-man shows, and performances. The invited companies, both professional and amateur, share the same desire to introduce and foster a love of theatre for the greatest number.

Workshops, Meetings, and Exhibitions

Beyond the performances, the festival offers multiple opportunities for interaction between the public and artists. Theatre practice workshops are offered to both adults and children, allowing them to learn about acting, improvisation, or directing. Meetings with the companies, debates, and exhibitions complete the program, making the festival a true place for exchange and sharing around performing arts.
