The Théâtre Rive Gauche, also branded La Gaîté Rive Gauche, can be hired for a private performance in a 400-seat auditorium. Companies use it for client evenings and year-end shows, and families for Christmas parties. It stands at 6 rue de la Gaîté, in the 14th arrondissement of Paris.
Seminars and company events
The theatre's privatisation page is addressed to company and family events. The format is a private performance: the organiser chooses a show from the current programme and hires the full auditorium for one date, with a capacity of 400. The page lists the shows available for this formula, which include comedy and musical productions, and the programme also includes shows for young audiences, one-person shows and a musical comedy about Paris. The offer does not describe a meeting room, a stage set for presentations or a plenary layout, so a corporate conference is not the use case. It suits a team outing, a client event with a show, a year-end celebration or a Christmas tree for employees' children. Requests are made through a form that asks for the show, the date of interest, name, company, email and phone number, plus any precisions. The reservation team then contacts the organiser to arrange the visit.
Weddings and receptions
The theatre does not present weddings or receptions. The privatisation text mentions family events, Christmas trees and year-end shows. A wedding or a drinks reception is therefore outside what the site describes.
Rooms and capacities
The venue is a single auditorium with 400 seats. The privatisation page gives this capacity as the limit for a hired performance. The theatre also offers group tickets to the public from 10 people, which suits a smaller party that does not need the whole room. Accessible seating is handled by phone through the box office, and the site lists a number for it.
Catering
The official pages do not describe an in-house catering offer or a bar service for private hires. Organisers who need food or drinks around the performance should ask the reservation team what is possible before booking.
History and setting
The theatre sits on rue de la Gaîté, a street known for its theatres in the Montparnasse district of the 14th arrondissement. The programme mixes comedians, musicals and children's shows. The same team also runs a second theatre, La Gaîté Montparnasse, which the site invites visitors to explore.
Getting there
The address is 6 rue de la Gaîté, 75014 Paris. The phone number listed on the site is 01 43 22 22 19. Privatisation requests go through the form on the privatisation page, and the box office handles accessibility questions at the same number.
