Henri Poitras founded the Theatre du Rire in 1950, which performed at the Monument-National in Montréal. An historic four-storey building that went up between 1891 and 1894, it served originally as a French-Canadian cultural centre and home to the administrative services of the St-Jean-Baptiste Association. Noted for its 1620-seat theatre, the National Theatre School acquired the building in 1971 for $350,000. There is a street named for Henri Poitras in Laval, just north of Montréal.
