The Théâtre Rive Gauche (French pronunciation: [teɑtʁ ʁiv ɡoʃ]) is a theatre in Paris in France located at 6, rue de la Gaîté in the 14th arrondissement of Paris.
In 2010 50 private theatres in Paris gathered in the Association pour le Soutien du Théâtre Privé (ASTP) and the Syndicat National des Directeurs et Tourneurs du Théâtre Privé (SNDTP), which included the Théâtre Rive Gauche, and decided to launch a new group: the 'Theatres Parisiens Associés'.
[1] In January 2012 Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt became the director of the Théâtre Rive Gauche in association with the producer and comedian Bruno Metzger,[1] while in 2013 the actor and director Steve Suissa joined the theatre.
[1] After a production of Anne Frank's Diary other pieces were produced including: M. Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran[2] with Francis Lalanne (2018); Right or Wrong by Ronald Harwood; Billie Holiday with Viktor Lazlo in a staging by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt; and finally The Confrontation by Bill C. Davis and staged by Steve Suissa with Francis Huster and Davy Sardou.
The 2013-2014 season opened with two world premieres: Miss Carpenter by Marianne James and Sébastien Marnier; and The Guitrys, a new play by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, directed by Steve Suissa and performed by Claire Keim and Martin Lamotte.
