A Bold New Chapter for Guillaume Lambert
In a move that has sent ripples through the Canadian arts community, the talented Guillaume Lambert recently shared a significant career update on social media. Known for his magnetic stage presence and versatility, Lambert has found himself at a professional crossroads, forced to choose between two passion projects that define his current trajectory.
For many, Lambert is synonymous with the hilarity of La pièce qui tourne mal (The Play That Goes Wrong), a production celebrated for its chaotic energy and impeccable timing. However, as the show prepares for its new summer tour, Guillaume has announced a heartfelt departure from the cast.
Choosing the Director’s Chair: The ‘Santa Claus’ Project
The reason behind this difficult decision? A golden opportunity in cinema. Guillaume Lambert is stepping away from the spotlight of the stage to embrace the vision of a filmmaker. He is currently directing a new feature film titled “Santa Claus,” scheduled for release this coming holiday season.
“I chose to do the film and I will not be returning to La pièce qui tourne mal… I’m directing a film in a week called Santa Claus, and it comes out at Christmas. It’s extraordinary and I can’t wait to tell you more,” Lambert shared with his followers.
This transition from actor to director marks a pivotal milestone in his career, proving his ambition to master all facets of storytelling, both in front of and behind the camera.
Who is Taking Over the Role of Dennis?
While fans will miss his portrayal of Dennis, the production has ensured the show remains in great hands. The magnificent Stéphane Breton will be stepping into the role, bringing his own unique flair to the comedic chaos.
