“Amok” whispers the program. A shiver runs down my spine. Right here before us stands the Théâtre de Saint-Maur. Its imposing presence speaks of countless stories played out within its walls.
This isn’t just any theatre. The Théâtre de Saint-Maur is a cultural cornerstone. It boasts two distinct performance spaces. The larger Rabelais hall seats 674. The more intimate Radiguet hall holds 115. Both have seen performances ranging from classic theatre to contemporary works. Children’s shows and concerts have also graced these stages.
Imagine the hushed anticipation before the curtain rises. Picture the laughter echoing through the Rabelais hall during a comedic performance. Hear the applause rolling over the audience after a particularly moving scene. The Théâtre de Saint-Maur is a melting pot of emotions and artistic expressions.
Directed by Priscille Descout the theatre has a rich history. For thirty years Daniel Royan led the house. The theatre has attracted diverse audiences. Its diverse programming caters to everyone. From children’s shows to concerts to classic and contemporary plays. This commitment to accessibility reflects the community spirit of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés.
The theatre’s commitment to artistic excellence isn’t limited to its performances. It also hosts workshops for both children and adults. It actively supports the development of future artists. The theatre is a true hub for theatrical education and cultural exchange.

This wide array shows the versatility of the venue.
