This November, La Comédie Française New York (actfrench.com) will donate $50 to French Goes Public for each NY in French member or friend who signs up for our winter term starting on November 1st. Since each dollar is matched by the French Embassy, you will actually be giving $100 to support bilingual education when you enroll in acting in French classes.

We hope to generate $3000-$8000 to support the French Goes Public program through this initiative.

La Comédie Française New York (actfrench.com) is dedicated to the promotion of contemporary Francophone theatre through French language classes for theatre lovers and and acting classes in French for native speakers. We offer the opportunity for students of all levels to learn to speak French with confidence through fun theatre games and work on contemporary French theatre scenes that they present at our class party/performance on December 8th. Our next term starts November 1st.

French Goes Public
French Goes Public is a joint initiative of the French-American Cultural Exchange Council and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy. Each dollar raised is matched by one dollar from the French Embassy. Money raised through New York in French will buy books for kids, train teachers, encourage schools to open French programs in the area, offer scholarships to underserved children so they can attend summer camps such as the French Heritage Language Program's.

Make sure to mention "French Goes Public" when you complete your registration and we will donate $50 of your tuition fee to the French Goes Public program.


Contemporary French theatre from around the world: Each semester, we focus on a different playwright and Francophone region. This upcoming November, playwright Joël Pommerat and Metropolitan France will take the spotlight.

A Table! : Each class, students will get to sample a wine and cheese from a different region of France. In addition, all students are invited to optional weekly outings to concerts, shows and restaurants in the city where they will have the opportunity to practice your French and meet Francophiles and Francophones from around the world.

Atelier Francophone: Native speakers can join us on Saturdays for our "atelier Francophone" where we create a show and explore the craft of acting in French.
