Antoine Yared

Born in Lebanon and raised in Montreal, Antoine has worked in theatres across Canada and the US. His love of Shakespeare prompted a move to Stratford, where he spent five seasons performing classical plays such as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Pericles, King John, The Merchant of Venice, John Gabriel Borkman, The Alchemist, The Madwoman of Chaillot and Mother Courage. Antoine’s taste for adventure then spurred him to seize the opportunity of appearing in Groundling Theatre’s production of King Lear in Toronto, before accepting a role in The Last Wife at Montreal’s Centaur Theatre. More recently, he was employed south of the border at Washington DC’s Arena Stage in A Thousand Splendid Suns – a role he’d reprised a few months after the production toured San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.
