A documentary video was created about the collaborative project between Les Pas pour Rire theatre company and Parrainage civique de Vaudreuil-Soulanges, which ran from June 2021 to March 2022 with financial support from the ministère de la Culture et des Communications.
Ten actors performed a play at Salle Paul-Émile-Meloche in Vaudreuil-Dorion on March 26, 2022. Profil Média filmed the preparations and produced a documentary video that aired on CSur la télé.

A documentary by filmmaker André Desrochers
André Desrochers is a filmmaker and director from Beauharnois whose many short films have brought the Suroît region to audiences around the world. His 70-minute film, Les Pas pour Rire – du théâtre pour vrai, follows the company behind the scenes and during its weekly rehearsal workshops. The actors share what they have learned, how they have challenged themselves and how theatre has helped them feel valued and part of society.
The film was screened:
- For students in the Special Care Counselling program at Collège de Valleyfield
- At the Festival Cinéma du Monde de Sherbrooke
- At the Festival International du Film sur l’Art in Montreal
- At the Fêtes Internationales de Théâtre in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield
