    Translation Help!
    Would someone be able to offer a sensible translation for the following text I have on a poster at home.. now of course understand all of the vocab but would just like a nice-sounding translation!

    '..prochainement, la très illustre compagnie du chat noir avec ses pièces d'ombres célèbres, ses poëtes, ses compositeurs...'


    Thanks!
