There are objects that simply find their place in a space. And then there are those that, in settling in, tell a story. A very special bench has just made its way into the students’ inner courtyard at the National Theatre School of Canada. Behind its design lies a story of family, of legacy, and […]

The new school year is officially underway, and NTS is already buzzing with new energy: new faces, new voices, new encounters, and, above all, the beginning of new theatrical journeys.  We’re delighted to welcome our new cohorts for the 2026–2027 academic year and to see our second- and third-year students back at school.  These first few days are a chance to reconnect with the school, meet new people, get to know the faculty and staff, and find your place within our community. Because at NTS, every artistic journey is unique, but theatre is always about creating, learning, and growing together.  A warm welcome to all our students as you begin this new chapter!  Here’s to a new year of theatre, discovery, and shared experiences. Let the 2026–2027 season begin!      

At the National Theatre School of Canada, learning extends far beyond the walls of the School. Each year, our students, graduates, faculty members and partners bring theatre into communities across Canada and beyond — expanding access to the arts, supporting cultural transmission and sharing expertise internationally. These initiatives are driven by a common belief: theatre has the power to connect people, inspire learning and […]

This year, after more than two decades of dedicated service each, the National Theatre School of Canada bids farewell to three individuals whose contributions have left a profound mark on the School’s history: Robert Bellefeuille, Yoland Lambert, and Jill Thomson.  Three very different careers. Three essential roles. One shared commitment: making the School a place where artists can learn, create and grow.  Over the years, each of them helped build the institution we know today. While their retirements mark the end of an important chapter, their legacy will live on through the thousands of students, graduates and colleagues whose lives they touched.  Robert Bellefeuille: Building a […]

A year ago, I was wrapping up my final year in the Mise en scène program at the National Theatre School of Canada. Right before the year kicked off, an opportunity came up: a placement in Paris at the Conservatoire national supérieur d’art dramatique. The two schools have a long history of collaboration, and I […]
