LA MAISON THEATRE

What LA MAISON THEATRE does

La Maison Théâtre is a Strasbourg-based non-profit association (loi 1901, founded 2012, SIREN 790 991 921) dedicated entirely to amateur theater practice. The organization operates from the Théâtre du Tambourin, a venue officially assigned by the Ville de Strasbourg in March 2021, with secondary use of La Pokop. Its core offerings are weekly theater paths (Chemins de théâtre) running 30 to 60 hours per season for children (from age 8), adolescents, and adults; intensive 4-5 day vacation stages for younger participants; and the Compagnie éphémère program for advanced adolescents. Complementing the practice programs, La Maison Théâtre publishes the Cahiers Théâtre catalog (23 volumes) of contemporary plays written specifically for young amateur performers, in partnership with Éditions Théâtrales, and runs school-based "Faites du théâtre!" programs across the Eurométropole de Strasbourg plus the multi-year Spach Land community residency in the Cité Spach social housing district.

The organization's business model combines individual participant fees (250€-420€ for weekly paths, 135€-185€ for stages, plus an annual 18€-20€ membership/adhésion), modest publication sales (5€-9.90€ per Cahier), and institutional public subsidies from DRAC Grand Est, Collectivité européenne d'Alsace, Ville de Strasbourg, and occasional ANCT project grants. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the organization's website, family portal (Portail famille), and HelloAsso registration platform, complemented by school partnerships and community-based outreach. The teaching model is built on 20+ working professional theater artists who serve as artist-pedagogues, led by artistic and pedagogical director Laurent Benichou (founder, since 2012). All instructional delivery is in-person; there is no technology product, digital platform, or AI capability.
