In the legendary play “Appelez-moi Stéphane,” five apprentice actors (Patrice Bélanger, Véronic DiCaire, Caroline Bouchard, Dominic Paquet and Tammy Verge) from different backgrounds enroll in an evening acting class. Stéphane (Bernard Fortin), their charismatic teacher, challenges them to create a play. With his innate talent for uncovering his students' weaknesses, he gradually leads them to reveal their torments, transforming this theatrical project into an experiment with unexpected and potentially perilous dramatic consequences. A skilful blend of drama and laughter, directed by André Robitaille! (Website available in French only)

See a unique family show at Théâtre de la Dame de Cœur

The Théâtre de la Dame de Cœur presents “Victor et le cadeau des songes,” a great family show where laughter and wonder come together. The performance takes place outdoors in a 500-seat theatre covered by a giant roof. Rain or shine, both kids and adults will stay warm thanks to the swiveling seats equipped with heating straps. Make the most of your visit before the show by exploring the puppet museum interpretation center and enjoying a picnic on-site. You can also enjoy a hot buffet in the rustic setting of the Vieux Moulin restaurant. (Website available in French only)

Enjoy a haven of nature just a stone’s throw from the city

With a dozen parks spread over more than 25 km on either side of the majestic Saint-François River, Parc à Parc offers a riverside circuit packed with activities. Cycling families can take a ferry to Parc Kounak, perfect for a waterside picnic, before heading to the beach for a refreshing swim. Walkers and hikers will love the splendid Rivia promenade, one of Drummondville’s most scenic spots, and the Parc regional de la Forêt Drummond, a haven of nature close to the city, where you’ll find spectacular views of the river, as well as wildlife including bald eagles, kingfishers and white-tailed deer. Bring your own boat, kayak or paddleboard, or rent one at Parc Sainte-Thérèse or Club de voile de Drummondville to explore this magnificent body of water. (Website available in French only)
