A career in theatre began as a Lucky beast of burden GlobeArts
Lorraine Pintal receives a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement later this month.There is something delightful in learning from Lorraine Pintal that her career epiphany came while acting in an all-female high-school drama club production of Waiting for Godot.
She took on roles both onstage – notably in her celebrated one-woman show Madame Louis 14 – and offstage, where she continues in her long-running dual role as Théâtre du Nouveau Monde’s artistic director and general manager. It’s a part she adopted in 1992 and one she has played with success – if occasional headline-grabbing controversy – ever since.
Besides, she adds, she’s too busy planning the theatre’s next renovation project. It’s a $20-million expansion and upgrade of the company’s iconic venue at the corner of Montreal’s Ste-Catherine and St-Urbain streets, to be completed in 2022. “So my passion and desire to carry out TNM’s mission are still alive and well.
Soon after, she was successfully tackling another crisis. When she was hired to run TNM, the illustrious company was in trouble, shedding patrons and bleeding red ink. Pintal wiped out a deficit of more than a million dollars, more than tripled subscriptions and oversaw a $13-million renovation in the mid-1990s that transformed its aging building into one of Montreal’s cultural hotspots.
