MONTREAL, May 14 /CNW/ -- MONTREAL, May 14 /CNW Telbec/ - Laurentian Bank is proud to announce that it is continuing its partnership with the Maison Théâtre and shall be sponsoring the 2008-2009 season. The many presentations on the program will mark the 25th season of the Maison Théâtre, which encourages the creation and showing of theatre works for young people.
"The Bank has been a proud partner of the Maison Théâtre since the 2000-2001 season, and we are thrilled to be associated with their program highlighting 25 years dedicated to the cultural awakening of young people," specified Gladys Caron, Vice-President, Public Affairs, Communications and Investor Relations. We are joining all those who have benefitted from its influence as an all-important artistic venue in applauding the success of the Maison Théâtre.
Located in Downtown Montreal, the Maison Théâtre puts on plays for young people aged 2 to 17. This dynamic cultural company is recognized for its originality, its choice of plays and its physical layout: the seats in the playhouse are adapted to a younger audience, and its waiting area has a place where children can read the different publications created for them before the show.
This commitment to an institution geared to the cultural development of children is in line with Laurentian Bank's family orientation, which promotes activities in which parents and children experience the same emotions and discoveries. The Bank also wants to be even more accessible and family-friendly, both in its approach to enhance the customer experience and in its search for excellence in having a service adapted to everyone's needs.
As part of its sponsorship and donation program, every year Laurentian Bank and its employees support hundreds of organizations recognized for their excellence. The sponsorship is in keeping with the Bank's many community development activities.
