Câfé-theatre style productions

A summer theatre show and a lager in the interval was the inspiration for Toulouse Comedy Players, who offer câfé-theatre style productions each spring in the south-west.
Founder Angela Blyth was already involved with Pibrac’s Secret Panto Society when she had the idea for the group, which started in 2012, and is “continuing the quest to explore what makes us laugh”. Looking for people to join them or to work behind the scenes, the aim is to encourage those who have always wanted to do something in the theatre but have never dared.
The one-act plays – a spy spoof and panda dilemma – are on May 12-13 in Castelnau-de-Montmiral, Tarn, and Pujaudran, Gers, on May 26 and 27.
