Tired of adults, with all their bogus rules and contradictions? Want to understand them better or get EVERYTHING you want from them, whether that’s a doughnut or a hug? This is THE theatre lecture of your dreams, given by one of the biggest mini-life coaches around. Finally, the KEYS to understanding (and the secret candy stash) are within YOUR reach!

Joséphine delivers an enlightening exposé on grown-ups, in ten zany lessons. You’ll learn how to interact with them and interpret their non-verbal cues, their whims and their complicated hair (prickly beards, mustaches, unibrows, bald patches!). In spite of herself, the young girl also lets you in on her own family’s life, which isn’t all sunshine and roses. Plus, there’s a rowdy audience member who won’t stop bothering her! What does she want from Joséphine? Could it be that the distinguished speaker also needs a few tips and tricks on how to get along with her parents? 

Lighting design and the two charismatic actresses take the focus on this charming, minimalist stage. This gem of a play by Marie-Hélène Larose-Truchon will strike a chord and tug at all your childhood heartstrings.
