The Centre for Education and Theatre in Montreal (CETM) believes that the best way to have a vibrant local cultural scene is to create one. In other words, this means helping the producers and performing artists of tomorrow to develop the tools they need to be truly successful out in the workplace.

As we are not beholden to any specific producing organization, our CETM structure allows us to offer year-round support through our team of dedicated staffers, who are especially interested helping young artists who share our values and vision with their production and marketing initiatives. Having recently obtained charitable status from the Canada Revenue Agency, CETM is looking forward to a new year of activities centered around service to our local performing artists and the broader community in general. Many of these initiatives are offered at no charge or very low cost.
