MONTREAL, March 7, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - As part of the Signature Canada 150 project entitled "Dictée P.G.L. 150: Travelling through History", Dictée P.G.L. and the Ligue Nationale d'Improvisation (LNI) will be travelling the country in May 2017.

For the Halifax departure, the audiences will be able to enjoy the artistry of LeLouis Courchesne, Johanne Lapierre, Frédéric Barbusci, Diane Lefrançois, Christian Brisson-Dargis and François-Étienne Paré. The two teams will meet up in Ottawa-Gatineau on May 26 for a big show at the Canadian Museum of History (free tickets available on the Museum's site starting in April).
