A variety of guests on stage
The entertainment of the evening will be entrusted to two members of the Théâtre Université de Montréal troupe, Hassan Kabalan (law) and Léanne Proulx-Leroi (free studies), and the direction of the show will be provided by Émanuel Frappier (graduate of the National Theater School of Canada).
During the evening, in addition to the presentation of the public prize, the jury, composed of Marie-France Jacques (performer and dance teacher), Geneviève Jodoin (singer-composer and graduate of UdeM) and Adam Provencher ( scenographer), will have, for the first time, the difficult task of designating the first, second and third places. These winners will be awarded recognition scholarships with a total value of $1,300. The big winner will represent the University of Montreal at the national final ofU in show on March 29, at the Plaza Theater, where finalists from 10 Quebec universities will perform.
During the jury’s deliberations, Jeremy Chhor will offer a performance to the public. A UdeM student studying for a bachelor’s degree in physical education and health, he won the edition ofUdeM in show in 2023 thanks to a touching comedy number which addressed the themes of cultural identity, racism and unconscious bias.
A competition that promotes the French language
Orchestrated by the Cultural Activities of Student Life Services, this competition aims to invite the UdeM student community to express their creativity in French. Thanks to a grant from the En français naturally! of the Ministry of the French Language, the University of Montreal will be the organizer of the national final ofU in show on behalf of the Interuniversity Student Life Regroupment, which will be presented in collaboration with UdeM français.
