It is located at 3, rue de la Loi/Wetstraat, on the edge of Brussels Park, facing the Belgian House of Parliament (Palace of the Nation).

[1] From 1850 to 1854, the Park Theatre hosted Dutch productions, then specialised in operetta and opéra-comique, and finally (from 1869) in comedies.

Returning as a francophone theatre in 1919, it put on classic pieces featuring Belgian actors.

In 1976, the Royal Park Theatre became a "Public Utility Establishment", under the sole direction of Jean Nergal, who remained director until his death on 3 January 1987.

Under his direction, the Park Theatre was distinguished by a programme where classics and contemporary creations alternated, in spectacular staging and with a focus on comedies.
