Description
Key words: love, sketches, live music, dance, local creation, nostalgia
We love this show for: its unifying and festive side, its “pep”, its lightness and its humour.
This year, eight Sudbury authors have drawn inspiration from your favourite love songs to create TNO’s annual community show. A mysterious jukebox comes to life, and one romantic memory follows another in an unusual evening that combines humour, tenderness, theatre, music and… a few dance steps! Devant le jukebox, is the story of an evening or the story of a lifetime. It’s passionate or broken. It’s ardent or platonic. Filial or toxic. It’s love. With a capital A or a small one.
Directed by Hélène Dallaire, come and discover the eclectic and engaging universe imagined by Isaac Adams, Maxime A Cayouette, Antoine Côté Legault, Stéphan Lapensée, Chloé Laduchesse, Daniel Robillard, Alex Tétreault and Chloé Thériault. Janie Pinard is joining us as assistant director and choreographer.
Location: La Grande Salle, Place des Arts du Grand Sudbury
Duration: 1h20 without intermission

As part of its 2024-2025 community show, TNO is inviting public figures from Sudbury to take part in the “Are you ready to dance for TNO?” campaign. 8 courageous star dancers will take the stage in Devant le jukebox, directed by Hélène Dallaire. Under the choreography of the talented Janie Pinard, who is also codirector, our guest dancers will bring out their most electric dance steps to impress the audience… and support community projects of TNO!
