Théâtre Le Passage vers les Etoiles

What Théâtre Le Passage vers les Etoiles does

Théâtre Le Passage vers les Etoiles is a Parisian live-performance operator legally registered as Les Mères de l'Intuition (a French SARL with €8,000 share capital, founded 2005 by director Frank Maillol). The company runs two intimate rooms in Paris's 11th arrondissement near Père Lachaise — Le Passage (70 seats) and Les Etoiles (200 seats), totalling 270 seats — equipped with Starway Commander 48 and ETC Congo Kid lighting consoles, Yamaha mixing desks, and a Pleyel quarter-grand piano. It also controls two sister theatres in Avignon: Théâtre de l'Ange (created 2002) and Théâtre Les Etoiles (created 2021), forming a three-venue production and talent-development network. Its catalogue of original productions extends back to 1986 and includes 'Le Meuf Show' (2000-2008), 'Les Sublimes Impatiences' (2003-2015), and 'La thérapie de la connerie' (2018-2020).

The theatre's commercial activity centres on ticketed live performances — contemporary and classical theatre, musical shows, dance, young-audience productions, and improv formats such as 'Le jeudi c'est impro!' — distributed online via Billetweb.fr and BilletReduc.com and at the box office. A secondary revenue stream comes from venue privatisation for corporate events (trainings, seminars, conferences, team-building) in the 200-seat Les Etoiles room and its adjacent hall and bar, handled via direct contact form and phone enquiries. Customer segments are a broad general theatre-going public (primary) and corporate/private event organisers (secondary). Distribution is wholly domestic, focused on Île-de-France and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur; the company is founder-controlled with 8 employees, no external funding, and no parent.
