Cinq Jasmins Company
Founded in 2019 by a group of passionate amateur actors, Cinq Jasmins Company is a theater troupe composed of seven members (four women and three men). After getting its start within the Association des Familles Rurales d’Olemps, it overcame the challenges posed by the health crisis to create its first production, *Il ne faut jamais cueillir un coquelicot* by Gérard Guegen, which premiered in January 2022.
Since then, the company has continued to grow with new productions, notably *Un ouvrage de Dame* by Jean-Claude Danaud in 2023, followed by *Aurélia* by Robert Thomas.
Having become an independent nonprofit in 2025, Cinq Jasmins Company is now based at Parc de Combelles in Le Monastère. Eager to share its passion for theater, it has also established a theater school for elementary school children, with the goal of soon expanding its programs to middle and high school students.
The company champions a vibrant, accessible, and welcoming form of theater, based on the joy of performing, connecting with the audience, and passing on the performing arts.
