Program details
Overview
Arts, lettres et communication, option Théâtre, profil Jeu et création théâtrale, is a pre-university DEC profile centred on stage performance. The program page describes it as one of four profiles within the Arts, lettres et communication program, ideal for students who want to learn through play and build creativity and self-confidence through the performing arts. Program objectives include developing knowledge across theatre, literature, art history and cinema, expanding expressive and communication ability, exploring and practising acting techniques, discovering creativity and a taste for risk-taking, building self-confidence, improving teamwork, and analyzing and critiquing theatrical productions through regular theatre attendance. The page describes candidates as passionate about theatre and the broader arts (cinema, art history, literature, dance and music), drawn to storytelling and character creation, open-minded and critically engaged, and interested in teamwork, theatre outings, reading and research. Admission follows the general college conditions with no additional subject prerequisites and no admission quota. Beyond programs directly linked to theatre, the DEC gives access to university programs including cultural action, landscape architecture, dramatic art, visual and media arts, strategic communication and public relations, marketing communication, interior design, law, teaching, film studies, history, art history, graphic design and journalism.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program page states no specific prerequisites beyond the college's general admission conditions: applicants qualify with a DES, a DEP plus Secondary 5 language of instruction, Secondary 5 second language and Secondary 4 mathematics, or training and experience the college judges sufficient, and must show adequate spoken and written French, with anyone lacking a francophone-sector DES required to pass the Bright test at a minimum of 3.7 in the written part, the oral part, and overall. The program has no enrolment cap. It runs two years starting in the fall or two-and-a-half years starting in the winter. Applications are submitted online through SRAM.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) at admission.sram.qc.ca: the college's own admission page states an equal-consideration date of 1 March for Fall entry and 1 November for Winter entry, which for the 2027 cycle fall on 1 March 2027 (Fall) and 1 November 2026 (Winter), with Winter 2027 applications opening 15 September 2026. Collège Lionel-Groulx does not publish a dedicated international-admissions page of its own; international applicants would follow SRAM's system-wide window, published as 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, though the college has not confirmed this itself. Admission proceeds round by round on a rolling basis after each equal-consideration date until seats are filled. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
