Hebertot Theater

What Hebertot Theater does

Théâtre Hébertot is a historic Parisian theater founded in 1830 and currently operating as a privately held SAS (share capital €48,000) under the direction of Francis Lombrail since 2013. The company runs a 626-seat Italian-style hall at 78 bis boulevard des Batignolles in Paris's 17th arrondissement, presenting a repertoire of five active productions spanning classic French works (Les Misérables by Compagnie Chouchenko, Diplomatie by Cyril Gely, Le Cid pète 1 câble, Viva Verdi) and contemporary creations (Le mariage de David et Leïla by Alexis Michalik, January 2027). The theater addresses four customer segments: individual theatergoers, groups and corporate committees of 10+ people, school groups at discounted rates, and corporate event clients renting the venue for private functions, galas, seminars, and film shoots.

Revenue is generated through four streams: ticket sales across five price categories (ranging from €15 to €70 depending on show and seat), private event privatization of the full venue, gift cards (minimum €10, one-year validity), and group/education bookings. Pricing is structured with youth discounts (€10 for under-26 on certain weekday performances) and tiered group rates. Distribution is omnichannel: 24/7 online ticketing through the integrated Themisweb/Rodrigue platform, telephone reservations, and an on-site box office, supplemented by a coordinated marketing stack (Google Analytics, Criteo retargeting, email newsletter) and a website built and hosted by EFIL Digital and OVH.

The technology stack is conventional and third-party dependent: a third-party ticketing backend, a payment processor (Verifone/Paybox), lightweight web analytics, and a cookie consent tool. The company is GDPR- and French data protection law-compliant, and operates as a single venue serving only the Paris market with no geographic expansion evidenced. There is no M&A, no external funding, and no indications of a parent company; the entity is owner-operated with consolidation of directorship under Francis Lombrail since 2018.
