Le Kitchen Party

Juliane Gallant hosts Le Kitchen Party, transforming Theatre Passe Muraille into an Acadian kitchen party, bringing warm and infectious music to Toronto. 

Juliane will share a mix of traditional and contemporary compositions with exceptional guest performers Jacques Arsenault, Pierre-André Doucet and Marie Andrée Gaudet, who will transport you to small-town Maritime Canada and fill your hearts with nostalgia for a home-cooked meal around the kitchen table with friends and family. 

Everyone is encouraged to join in the singing and dancing!
