Infinithéâtre’s crew has plenty of experience setting up makeshift performance venues that adapt to just about anywhere, be it an empty indoor pool, bank vault or hospital.

Now, for the first time since its opening in 1988, Infinithéâtre is heading to Notre-Dame-de-Grâce for an entire season — turning a historic church’s sanctuary into a full-fledged theatre.

While this is a pilot project for the 2017-18 season, there is hope that the English-language theatre troupe will root itself in N.D.G. by forming a lasting partnership with Espace Knox — a new, artist-run centre housed in the sanctuary of the former Knox Crescent Kensington and First Presbyterian church at the corner of Godfrey Ave. and Grand Blvd.

“Basically, we are producing our season in N.D.G. for the first time ever in association with Espace Knox,” said Infinithéâtre’s general manager, Simon A. Abou-Fadel, who noted the troupe produces English-language shows written by Quebec residents and members of Canada’s indigenous population.
