Super endroit pour écouter de la belle musique pour pas trop cher

Tres bien!

I went to a concert at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal and really enjoyed the experience. The music was incredible, the space felt welcoming, and it’s a great place to discover young talented musicians.

Les performances des étudiants universitaires sont de très haut niveau.
Le prix d’entrée est très abordable pour la qualité des spectacles!
Je recommande chaleureusement…

Le Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal c’est l’endroit parfait pour faire les premiers pas vers la vie culturelle.
Les spectacles et les activités qui se déroulent ici sont offerts par de grands professionnels, des vrais ambassadeurs de l’Art.
Les prix de billets sont plus que dérisoires, mais les spectacles sont de haut niveau.

Belle salle rouge avec super son

Très belle salle

Nous avons apprécié la qualité de la pièce à la fin de la session. Votre bonne organisation des cours et les communications claires. Ma fille m’a répété à plusieurs reprises comment elle aimait l’enseignement de Victoria et les différents trucs qu’elle lui a donnés.
L’étendue des âges (13-19) est assez large et avec ses 18 ans, ma fille était la plus vieille. Garder la motivation malgré la différence de maturité avec le groupe était un enjeu pour elle même si elle a adoré son année avec vous.

Notre fils adore ses cours de théâtre aux Studios Tapis Rouge! C’est toujours une expérience incroyable, il a hâte d’y retourner chaque semaine. Daniel est un enseignant exceptionnel, passionné et inspirant. Nous voyons à quel point il prend plaisir à apprendre et à s’épanouir grâce à lui. Merci pour cette belle formule!

J’ai été surprise de voir comment ma fille s’est intégrée au groupe du cours Préparatoire, elle s’est sentie très à son aise. C’est la première fois depuis que je l’inscris dans une activité que je la voie à ce point motivée. Les personnes qu’on a côtoyées durant le cours sont très sympa et sociable depuis Mme Sophie jusqu’aux parents des autres enfants.
Je n’ai eu aucune difficulté et j’espère que dans le prochain cours tout sera pareil.

Malgré sa grande timidité, ma fille a su relever le défi avec brio
Sa difficulté aura été d’incarner d’avantage le personnage.
Très fière de mon actrice ! Au plaisir de se revoir en octobre prochain !

Ma fille a eu énormément de plaisir, elle a eu la piqûre pour continuer. Nous savions que c’était son élément, les personnage, la comédie et tous. Elle était a sa place. Nous avons surtout hâte de voir la prochaine session d’automne vue son tda et sa petite dyslexie, nous avons hâte de voir si ça va bien aller. Les devoirs aussi, c’est toujours plus dur de la motiver à faire ses leçons le soir. Alors nous attendons la prochaine session avec impatience.

Merci encore, et bonne continuité

J’ai été agréablement surpris par le nombre d’activités différentes (improvisation, mime, théâtre, cinéma, jeu seul et à deux, etc.) que les élèves ont pu découvrir en si peu de temps (8 semaines de cours d’éveil).
Également la très belle énergie transmise par la professeure (Sophie) à la classe.
Ma fille était toujours impatiente de découvrir le cours suivant.
Elle a bien hâte de débuter la nouvelle session à la rentrée.
Même en cherchant bien je n’ai rien trouvé de négatif à propos de cette expérience.

Notre expérience a été très positive lors de la session théâtre et nous participons actuellement à la session de cinéma.
Nous avons apprécié le spectacle et plus particulièrement la qualité de la mise en scène et de la technique. De même que les communications et informations transmises régulièrement aux parents.
Tout est très professionnel!
Le lieu choisi pour le spectacle était assez éloigné de notre domicile. Mais nous comprenons que Tapis Rouge est présent à plusieurs places au Québec!

A Master of the Craft and the Soul – Gilles Plouffe’s Acting School is Transformational

Working with Gilles Plouffe has been nothing short of life-changing. He’s not just a coach—he’s a mentor, a guide, and a master craftsman who sees past the surface to unlock something deep within every artist he works with. His school of acting is more than a place to learn—it’s a space to transform.

Gilles creates an environment that is raw, real, and relentlessly honest. He doesn’t just teach technique—he digs into your truth, your story, your pain, your joy—and helps you channel all of it into your work. Under his guidance, I’ve accessed emotional depth and vulnerability I never thought possible. He challenges you, breaks down walls, and builds you back up stronger, bolder, more connected—to the craft, to the character, and most importantly, to yourself.

What separates Gilles is his unwavering belief in the artist inside you—even when you don’t see it yourself. He doesn’t settle for average. He pulls greatness out of you whether you’re ready or not.

If you’re serious about acting—if you’re hungry to evolve, to be pushed, and to uncover the raw truth of who you are—then this is where you need to be. Gilles Plouffe doesn’t just teach you how to act. He teaches you how to be.

Been a student of Gilles for the past couple months and I’ve been loving it! Great teachers, supportive environment, great learning experience and easy parking. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to learn about acting.

Je m’entraîne au studio Gilles Plouffe depuis un an et demi, et je compte continuer longtemps. C’est l’endroit parfait pour développer son jeu et l’amener au niveau supérieur. Gilles et son apprenti Thomas sont d’excellents pédagogues, qui maîtrisent très bien les principes du jeu réaliste. Fortement recommandé !

Je recommende le studio d’acteur Gilles Plouffe, à tous ceux qui désire apprendre l’acting, se développer personnellement et le tous sans jugement. Gilles & Thomas, sont des excellent prof. Leurs passion pour le jeu et l’enseignement se fait ressentir.

My experience at Gilles Plouffe Actors Studio, and especially working with Gilles Plouffe, has been instrumental in my professional development as an actor. The training is top-notch, and the coaching is truly transformative.

Cela fait un an que je prends des cours, et mon jeu d’acteur s’est énormément amélioré. Grâce à sa technique sensorielle, Gilles nous pousse à nous explorer en profondeur et à donner le meilleur de nous-mêmes.

With his warm and generous style, Gilles provides complete training for film and theatre tailored for students at all levels. His extensive experience as an actor allows him to combine creativity, professionalism, and practical insights. And he offers all of this to his students in a safe and supportive environment. You can’t help but grow as a result of Gilles’ guidance, patience, and gentle humour. Thank you, Gilles! 🙂

We celebrated our daughter’s 11th birthday with her friends. Everyone enjoyed the game (Magical)! The staff was very attentive, and the service was excellent. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

C’était ma première expérience dans le théâtre et elle fut une merveilleuse aventure. Fred saura vous guider avec écoute et bienveillance et vous donnera tous les outils dont vous aurez besoin pour vous sentir à l’aise. J’y ai beaucoup appris sur moi-même, je me suis surtout beaucoup amusée en plus de m’y faire un groupe d’ami(e)s que je ne suis pas prête d’oublier.

Une expérience humaine très enrichissante, Frédéric est très bienveillant et passionné ! Vous serez vite à l’aise si vous avez peur de vous lancer.

Un cours exceptionnel, à la fois thérapeutique et ludique, animé par Frédéric. Grâce à sa pédagogie bienveillante, Frédéric crée un environnement de confiance où chacun peut s’exprimer et progresser à son rythme.

Très bon cours de théâtre. J’ai fait deux fois exploration 2 et je le refais en janvier. Frédéric est pédagogue, bienveillant et à l’écoute. Je recommande vraiment ses cours de théâtre.

Les cours de théâtre de Frédéric sont un vrai plaisir! J’ai eu la chance de faire 4 cours avec lui et ma progression en improvisation est évidente! D’un très grand professionnalisme ses conseils sont toujours d’une justesse. Il fait en sorte de vous sortir de votre zone de confort selon le profil de chacun. Ces cours ont été pour moi un moyen de lâcher prise et de faire de super rencontre. Je recommanderais a n’importe qui ses cours d’exploration 1 et 2 pour les plus avancés

J’en suis bientôt à la fin de l’Exploration 1 et je n’ai que de belles choses à dire sur Frédéric et ses cours! Frédéric est très bon pédagogue, drôle, attentif, inventif, passionné. Les deux heures passent à une vitesse étonnante. Son approche me parle beaucoup car il nous aide à nous développer personnellement à chaque cours (par exemple, il nous apprend à nous focuser sur l’instant présent pour tirer le meilleur de notre créativité et faire confiance à notre intuition). On touche à toutes sortes d’émotions et de réactions pendant cette session. De la gêne au rire, de l’absurde à la tristesse, du conflit à la joie.. Je vais revenir bientôt pour la suite, c’est sûr!

Adams classes are a really great way for anyone to improve their acting! I highly recommend all the classes, I especially loved the advanced acting for camera class. They are organized in a way that makes you feel comfortable and have a lot of fun, yet as the time goes by you start realize how much you have improved. He structures his feedback according to each students skills, bringing out the best in everyone and instilling a desire to get better at the craft. These classes brought back a love for acting I had forgotten I had. I cannot thank Adam enough, definitely take a class at IO if you are considering it!

So far I had an absolute blast and mind changing experiences with Adam’s classes. (Adam is very open minded and kind hearted! – comfort is key, there is a high emphasis that you feel safe within the space!)

Last year I had taken the beginner and intermediate acting class out of sheer curiosity for the movie industry and finding another creative outlet. Then I went on to the Screenwriting class which really rekindled my inner flame for writing – you can learn quite a lot here, as the excercises are also a lot of fun.

Total recommendation if you want to get more in touch with your creative side, or if you are already: the right place to search new realms within your creative self.

Would totally take more writing classes if there will be the possibility of some. (You can see my excitement in the website’s top banner, ha!)

I took Adam’s beginner and intermediate acting class, and what an experience it was! Let me start by saying I am an English language teacher and I originally took the class to diversify my skill set and try something new. I never expected to have so much fun and enjoy acting as much as I did. Every week I would look forward to going to class because I knew each class would be interesting, fun, and challenging.

Adam is an amazing teacher who provides constructive and honest feedback. He knew when to push us and how to bring out the best in us. Regardless of where you’re coming from, Adam will teach you something you didn’t know about yourself and how to tap into that knowledge to become more aware, confident, and in control of your body and how you express yourself.

I would definitely recommend his classes to anyone and everyone! I got a lot out of his classes and I’m not even interested in becoming an actor. The school where I work immediately noticed a change in my presentation and teaching style. Furthermore, I even started to receive more positive feedback from the students taking my classes.

Thanks again Adam!

Adam has an amazing drive, and outstanding ability to communicate to his students, to connect with them, to move them, and to make them laugh!

What I especially appreciate is that, even though there is a general feeling of informality, camaraderie and spontaneity floating comfortably about in his classes, the content he delivers is superbly and consistently curated and generous in detail and specific examples.

Also, the level of hands-on opportunities to «put yourself out there», to give it a try and/or to watch others give it a try, succeed, fail…

The level of interactivity, the benefiting from being part of a group and the individual attention given to each student are thoroughly and ingeniously well managed!!! You’re the best Adam and we’re so glad we found you for our daughter! Bravo!!!

I highly recommend I.O. Acting Studio. Adam is a great teacher. The classes are fun and very well structured, you can feel you’re improving gradually. It is a very safe space to work on your social skills, especially if you suffer from anxiety or trauma triggers. Whether you want to start an actual acting career or just improve your confidence and speech abilities, you can’t go wrong with Adam.

I found myself under extreme fortune finding Adam and getting to take his beginner, intermediate and advanced acting classes. Prior to those I have never taken an acting class and almost never saw myself taking an acting class, for I am inherently a shy, reserved, introverted human being, but at the fault of Adam’s extreme knowledge and passion for acting you can’t help yourself but want to perform, create and ACT!

I can’t give this review enough stars and can’t wait to take another class of his, truly one of my favourite teachers

I recently completed the Intro to Acting course never having had any acting experience. Adam creates a fun, safe, and challenging learning environment. The tools he provides are not just applicable to acting, but to all sorts of performing and life experiences. I would highly recommend this class.

I completed the Full-Time acting Program at House of Actors, and it was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had! From Uta Hagen to Larry Moss to Stella Adler, I learned different acting techniques that gave me a whole basket of tools. I also met my acting family there, and I would gladly do this experience all over again!

I went to HOA literally lost, full of emotional barriers and a lack of self awareness. And now I cannot explain how vital the experience there was for me and my growth as an actor but also as a person. I learned that to be a great actor starts with being a great individual. So now I have a better idea of what my qualities are and what are the things I need to improve and work on. And that’s the best thing you want a program like this to give you. A good head start, a great foundation. So in every chapter of my career I will always be grateful to all my teachers, to Vanessa and to all my classmates for their help.

Being part of the Full-Time Program at House of Actors has been one of the most transformative and rewarding experiences of my life. If you’re on the fence or waiting for a sign—let this be it. Go for it! Invest in yourself; it’s absolutely worth it. Yes, it can be scary at first, but trust me, you’ll be so grateful you took the leap.

This program pushes you beyond your comfort zone in ways you never imagined. It’s intense—full of highs, lows, and moments of self-discovery—but that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. By the end, I felt more prepared and confident than ever to step into the industry.

From day one, the instructors were fully invested in my growth. Their dedication, passion, and support made all the difference, and I always felt they had my best interests at heart. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! ♡

I had the pleasure of joining House of Actors a few years ago, and I’m so grateful I did. From private classes with Vanessa to the advanced acting class, the intensive summer boot camp and the demo reel event, each experience has been wonderful, and I’ve learned so much about my craft as an actor. They truly are the best of the best!
I can’t wait to take more classes with them in the future, and I would highly recommend them to actors of all levels.

I participated in the mentorship program with House of Actors, and at first, I was completely lost and unsure where to begin. This program has been incredibly helpful—it provided me with the guidance I needed. The care, support, and availability of Vanessa is fantastic. Now, I feel fully equipped and ready to move forward

I’ve been taking scene study classes at HOA for just about a year now and I have no plans in stopping! Vanessa creates a safe space for actors to come and train and explore their creativity. I’ve also just completed her mentorship program which has really helped me get clear about my goals, the work it will take to get there, and lit a fire underneath me to start taking action! If you’re looking to get into this industry, her program is a great place to start.

Très déçue par l’attitude de Julie ray (Robitaille) NARCISSIQUE ,impolie ,TRES MÉPRISANTE ,parle dans le dos des gens, cette femme a de gros problème et est a éviter ,vous devriez sérieusement vérifier le comportement de votre personnel . Cette femme ne devrait JAMAIS travailler avec le public, elle m’a littéralement traumatisée de par son agissements 🙁

Les conteurs, 2011 by Richard Morin

This mural by Richard Morin was created for the National Theatre School of Canada’s 50th anniversary. It honors the school’s artistic and cultural contributions, depicting six symbolic characters representing key theatre disciplines: the author, the mother, the youth, the actor, costume, and direction. The gears symbolize production, the backdrop represents set design, and the evolving bill at the bottom reflects time and tradition.

L’espace est propre tout est bien installé et le service à la clientèle irréprochable Good job .

I just had a callback here and wow. the faculty members are so kind and very welcoming, the facility itself is beautiful and seems perfectly suited for the programs, and the people i got to work with were just spectacular. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to be in a room with so many amazing and talented artists.

My Son graduated from this outstanding Theatre School. He learned everything from building circuit boards, carpentry, how to work efficiently plus many other lessons for survival in this changing world. One must be highly motivated and driven in order to get through the 3 years of study and discovery.

Nice campus and well located. Lots of young talented people there!

Awesome school to visit. Variété of programs whithin field of théâtre and cinéma.

I went here and it was sweet. Ate a lot of nice sandwiches and had a lot of coffee.

This place has no business charging as much as they do. All you do in Foundations is prepare a single monologue throughout the whole course and work on it every class, in front of other people. That’s all.

Very few acting exercises here and there that get repeated over and over. Nearly no acting with other classmates. You get teachers reading theory off pages they barely understand, conversations with other school staff that can last up to half an hour, endless plugging of other events, and an overall lack of consideration for your time.

MSOPA is the home of art and acting. For anyone aspiring to become a star but unsure of the path, Josa Maule, owner and founder of MSOPA, will be your best guide and ‘Acting Mama,’ helping you thrive. So don’t worry—MSOPA has got you covered! With a wide range of classes and a diverse set of industry-experienced teachers, pursuing your passion here will be one of the best decisions you ever make.

MSOPA is a one stop destination for all acting aspirants. I have attended their workshops/classes and all of them are great. They have a great body of experienced instructors who have dealt with actors in Hollywood and Bollywood industries. Apart from acting, the school encourages building discipline, leadership and fosters networking with the media industry. Even if I never act again in this life, I will never forget my years in MSOPA. Lastly, the Founder Josa Maule is a great human being, mentor and she knows what she does – big time.

Fantastic acting school where our child was at his happiest in his youth! Over the course of several years at MSOPA, it became his home away from home where his love of acting developed in the most nurturing and encouraging environment. Josa and her team are stellar teachers and mentors to anyone who wants to pursue acting either as a hobby or professionally. 30+ years in the business means they’re doing something right!

Great team. Easy format. Talented teachers. But most importantly is the warm welcome from Montreal’s, one and only Icon, Josa. She opens her heart to all her students and is an inspiration to all. Once you become a member of MSOPA you then become part of Josa’s Family. Thank You MSOPA

I have been to many acting schools from Dawson College in Montreal to The Second City Chicago to Strasberg New York and I can definitely Josa and MSOPA are world class. I have taken many courses there with every teacher except musical theatre which I want to take but has never fit my schedule. These teachers are working professionals, not academics, and they will share all they know with you. What a gift!

I learned so much and keep on learning. Very safe environment, surround yourself with respectful people. This is the perfect drama school to have fun and focus on your craft.

Wow! What an experience and exposure for my son to have attended the SPIN Nationals at Los Angeles, California. All the mentors were industry experts and brought out the best in him and he learned to be more confident as a performer and took a take on modeling with coach John Stevens. Thank you Joe Lorenzo – SPA for being on the top of everything.

My son signed up for audition with SPA as an impromptu thing and next thing we knew, we got in and was told we’re going to nationals in LA. With that being said, intense training started both online and in person. It was the best thing and experience that happened to my son and I. We had so much fun and learned so much. They never stopped guiding us. Whether it’s resume, headshots, self tapes or training, they really take their work seriously. We’re so happy to be a part of SPA family.

SPINLA is the best decision I ever made for my daughter. They are so dedicated to helping my daughter further her career and follow her dreams. Thank you for guiding her to be the best version of herself»· I’d recommend SPINLA to anyone who wants to go beyond who they thought they could be. Thank you Joe Lorenzo and your staff for being so friendly, informative, engaging, kind helpful, knowledgeable. I couldn’t ask for a better company for my daughter .
Thank you,
Gabby Bunker

I am so grateful that my daughters had the opportunity to participate in SPIN 2024. It was a truly exceptional experience and the girls gained significant confidence and knowledge during the event.

What I admired most about SPIN was the positive and encouraging atmosphere that was fostered by the entire SPIN team. Both Joe and his team were always present and willing to talk to and assist the participants. It was a truly caring and fun event.

The best part for me was seeing the joy this experience brought to my girls. They raved every single day about how happy they were to be there. In addition, they made incredible friends from all over the world.

I also greatly appreciated the panel discussions for parents, as I am new to this and these were very informative and helped me to understand the process better.

We especially want to thank Liz, who worked closely with the girls and whose advice and encouragement meant so much to them.

SPIN has been a great foundation for my daughters to pursue their dreams and this was an experience my daughters and I will never forget.

Thank you so very much!

Society Performers Academy and Joe Lorenzo provide such an incredible experience! The team is professional, supportive, and so knowledgeable. I gained so much insight and had the opportunity to connect with people I never would have met otherwise. Experiences like this are truly rare, and I’m so grateful for everything I learned. Thank you for helping me feel more confident and prepared for what’s ahead!

So thankful to have found Joe and his team @ Society Performer Academy. Our daughter has wanted to be involved in the industry for a few years but as a protective mom, I never knew where to start. The whole experience with society performers has been next level!! The team’s communication is off the charts. They are all professionals who really know what they are doing and they really keep us parents informed as to what to look out for in this industry. Not only are they amazing to work with but they All LOVE what they do! They don’t just teach your child then drop you, they work with both my daughter and us as parents to ensure we get the best experience possible. I definitely recommend this company and am so thankful we found them!

If you are an aspiring actor/actress or if you are a parent of one, Society Performers Academy is the place to go! My daughter (9 year old) has been interested in entertaining since she was 2.5 (when she first memorized children’s books to be able to «read» them to classmates). I was hesitant, nervous and skeptical about the acting industry (which I knew nothing about)… until I came across a SPA ad about auditioning for a chance to attend their acting training program. I researched everything I could and went into the auction (which initially was with the amazing John Stevens) expecting lip service and a sales pitch. I was pleasantly surprised when the audition started with setting realistic expectations and in the end no sales pitch at all! The invite to attend training came following a second audition (ours was with Sienna) where the approach felt more like «you would make a wonderful addition to our SPA family». As Camila’s journey continued through the program we felt more like a part of a community / family than anything else. The level of support, encouragement, education, training and guidance is more than we could ever imagined. Even following the conclusion of training and the attendance at the showcase, at a point where there is little direct benefit to them to continue to provide guidance, support or really any communication, we felt (and still do) that they were/are «there» for us. The transparency, education (including educating parents on everything from lighting for videos to regulatory bodies/rules and everything in between, makes me recommend Society Performers Academy without hesitation. If you want to learn more about our experience (or if you are skeptical or hesitant like I was) feel free to reach out to me (google my name and you will find my contact info if it doesn’t display here). John, Joe, Adam, Ahmed, Sienna and Amie – THANK YOU!! You are all truly exceptional people and I look forward to sitting with you all one day toasting to Camila’s success when she accepts her Grammy one day (if people don’t laugh at your dreams, they aren’t big enough!)

Wine and Halva is a play that asks: How can friends do justice to each other when they have almost nothing in common?

I thoroughly enjoyed this unique presentation that uses light and dark humor, music, politics, and racism to tell the story of a very unlikely, yet joyful, intimate, and poignant friendship between a gay man and a Turkish woman.

L’Espace la Risée is a small, cozy, and very interesting theatre/performance hall.

Quand on cherche vos événements il ne donne pas la pièce qu’on va voir…le 22 novembre…
