Conseil québécois du théâtre

Le Conseil québécois du théâtre (http://www.cqt.ca/)

• The mission of the CQT is to gather and represent the middle ground of professional theatre in Québec. Located in Montreal, the CQT strives to be a political force and a lever for development in the service of quebecois theatre arts. Engaged with its members and mobilized by the vitality of its environment, the CQT positions itself to the forefront of the needs of its community and the defense of its interests.
• In January 2012, the administrative counsel adopted the CQT's strategical plan for the years 2012-2015, in which there are four main focuses:
• To federate the ensemble of the professional theatre environment and to be the privileged speaker on this subject.
• To represent the professional theatre environment in Québec with the governments, political situations, the media, and all other organisations. 
• To respond to the needs and the preoccupations that are priority to the members of the professional theatre world.
• To make well-known the value and importance of theatre arts within Quebecois society.
•  The values of CQT are as follows:
• Solidarity
• Integrity
• Transparence
• Adaptability
• Collegiality
• Le Conceil québécois du théâtre has been around for 29 years. Its creation stemmed from a need for theatre outreach into the community, specifically the areas that follow:
• A decent income for artists
• The diffusion of theatre across Québec
• Increase the young population to frequent the theatre
• To circulate works internationally
• Create an international present of CQT
• To promote theatre arts
