Une Drôle de Sorcière at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are delighted to welcome families, school groups, and curious theatergoers for a new date with Une Drôle de Sorcière, a playful and imaginative production that turns the classic figure of the witch into a beacon of mischief, discovery, and wonder. From our vantage point backstage and in the auditorium, the show’s blend of live acting, visual surprises, and audience interaction feels tailor-made for our room: the intimacy of our stage enhances the quickfire humor and the gentle asides to the audience, while our technical team uses light, color, and sound to paint the enchanting world this story demands. Whether you are bringing children discovering theater for the first time or you simply love spirited storytelling, you will find that the pacing, clarity, and visual inventiveness of Une Drôle de Sorcière are perfectly attuned to the atmosphere we foster here—warm, welcoming, and alive with laughter. As part of our ongoing commitment to family-friendly programming, this engagement also reflects our belief that quality children’s theater can delight adults without talking down to young audiences.

A playful, participatory, and artfully staged family experience

From the first entrance to the final bow, Une Drôle de Sorcière invites you into a universe where curiosity is stronger than fear and where a dash of theatrical magic keeps everyone on the edge of their seat. Seen from the wings at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we admire how the performers fold the audience into the action—encouraging gentle participation, call-and-response humor, and moments where children can help “solve” onstage riddles. The production moves fluidly across scenes, switching from cheeky comedy to tender, quiet beats that let younger viewers process what’s unfolding. Our technical crew has shaped a scenic environment that highlights vivid props and playful costumes while ensuring every seat captures the expressive detail that makes the title character so endearing. The result is a compact, high-energy format that keeps attention levels high without overwhelming the senses. In conversation with the company behind the show, we’ve noted how their current artistic focus places the child’s perspective at the center: the witch is “drôle” not just because she’s funny, but because she represents the joyous unpredictability of learning, making mistakes, and trying again—key themes the team continues to explore in its family repertoire this season.

Presenting Une Drôle de Sorcière in our venue allows us to amplify those themes with the particular intimacy of THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON. Our stage configuration lets young spectators feel close to the action, while the room’s acoustics ensure that punchlines, whispered asides, and musical stingers land clearly and gently. We have scheduled this date to fit neatly into the rhythm of family outings, and we’ve designed the front-of-house experience to be as smooth as possible for parents and caregivers—welcoming, efficient, and friendly from arrival to curtain call. Just as importantly, our programming team loves how the show sparks conversations after the performance: children talk about bravery, friendship, and the thrill of discovery; adults remark on the clever staging and the way humor doubles as a learning tool. That blend of entertainment and meaning is exactly why we champion productions like this one. Une Drôle de Sorcière stands as a lively reminder that the stage is a playground for imagination, and that at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we cherish the shared experience of laughter, surprise, and the joy of a story told brilliantly for all ages.
