The Théâtre Saint-Georges can be booked for conventions, seminars, award ceremonies, staff New Year events, fashion shows, product launches, general meetings and cocktail receptions. The auditorium seats more than 450 people, and the reception spaces hold up to 200 guests standing. The theater stands at 51 rue Saint-Georges, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, in the quarter known as the Nouvelle Athènes.
Seminars and company events
The theater lists private hire as a separate service, with its own team and contact. The format suits events built around a stage: a plenary session, a keynote, a results presentation, a prize-giving or a launch with a live audience. Guests sit in a real theater auditorium, and the reception spaces take over for the drinks before or after.
The auditorium is air-conditioned. A cloakroom is part of the public service on show nights. The theater has many stairs and states that it cannot receive wheelchair users, which matters for a company audience. Ask the private hire team about stage equipment, sound, projection and the times when the hall is free, since the theater runs a full program of plays most evenings.
Rooms and capacities
Two kinds of space are offered. The auditorium seats more than 450 people for a talk, a show or a ceremony. The reception spaces, described by the theater as comfortable and warm, hold up to 200 guests for a cocktail. The theater does not publish room names, floor areas or seated dinner figures, so confirm the layout for your event before you plan it.
Catering
The website does not describe an in-house catering service for private events. Plan the cocktail or the buffet with the private hire team and the caterer they accept. The street around the theater is lined with cafés and restaurants, useful for a dinner after a daytime session.
History and setting
The site was first a private mansion owned by the financier Millaud, founder of Le Petit Journal. From 1907 it housed the review Les Annales, then the newspaper Comoedia. Camille Choisy, a former director of the Grand Guignol, turned the old Annales hall into a theater. He hired the architect Charles Siclis, who chose a sober modern style. The theater opened on February 8, 1929.
Under Mary Morgan, director from 1943 to 1978, the house ran long comedies, among them Patate by Marcel Achard, with 2,225 performances. François Truffaut shot Le Dernier Métro in the building. In November 2024 a group of theater owners and producers bought the venue, including Pascal Guillaume, Sébastien Azzopardi, Francis Nani and Romain Frobert. The theater is part of a small group of partner houses with the Théâtre Tristan Bernard, the Théâtre Michel and the Théâtre du Palais-Royal.
