After a thriving summer during which our hit comedies Addition and Molière in Spite of Myself attracted hundreds of international theatregoers, Theatre in Paris announces the opening of the 2016-2017 season with five brand new productions.

We have selected a wide variety of plays and musicals in French and have made them available to English-speaking audiences. Thanks to our exclusive translation service, anglophone spectateurs can experience an authentic Parisian night out, and will have the opportunity to discover the best shows Paris has to offer, all whilst understanding every word with our English translations or 'surtitles' projected above the stage in real-time.

Not only are international clients flowing in, but the Parisian expatriate community has also shown a keen interest in our offer. Expatriates Magazine's readers have chosen Theatre in Paris as 2016's "Best Innovative Service for English Speakers" in Paris.

There is something for everyone in our new season - comedies, musicals, classics, with over 100 performances to choose from each month. In order to ensure the most perfect experience, Theatre in Paris arranges for an English-speaking host to greet each patron before the performance, and to give them an informative speech while escorting them to their seats. Theatre in Paris is the only company offering this exceptional experience in the French capital.
