Théâtre du Point du Jour

What Théâtre du Point du Jour does

Théâtre du Point du Jour is a French non-profit performing arts venue founded in 2019 and based in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It operates a single main venue offering a seasonal program of live theatrical performances (Spectacles), visual art exhibitions (Expositions), and supporting amenities including on-site bar and reception services. The theater serves the general public in Lyon and surrounding regions, with a horizontally segmented audience approach emphasizing community access to cultural programming.

The organization's core programmatic offerings include a Maison de création (creation house) supporting artistic development and production, and a Nomades touring program that extends performances beyond the main venue to regional audiences. It also runs Grand ReporTERRE, an environmental and sustainability-focused project initiative, alongside engagement programs for publics and mécènes (patrons). Resident associated artists (Artistes associé·es) underpin the creation pipeline, and the venue operates with a small staff of approximately 15 employees.

Revenue is generated primarily through ticket sales for performances and events, conducted online via an integrated Mapado ticketing platform and at the venue box office. Marketing and audience engagement rely on the theater's website, a downloadable seasonal brochure, and a newsletter subscription channel. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no external funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no public revenue or ownership information; the entity is consistent with a French association (loi 1901) non-profit structure typical of small cultural venues.

Regional players

• La Comédie de Saint-Étienne: Centre Dramatique National in Saint-Étienne with a creation house and touring productions. Comparable CDN-style structure, but located in a different regional market in France.
• Comédie de Valence: Centre Dramatique National (CDN) in Valence combining creation, resident companies, and touring. Comparable structure as a French creation-driven theater, but operating in a different regional market from Lyon.

Direct peers

• Théâtre du Chêne Noir: Independent Avignon theater with its own creation-and-production activity and year-round programming. Comparable as a privately operated theater running a creation house and resident artist model outside the national-theater system.
• Théâtre National Populaire (TNP): National theater located in Villeurbanne, immediately adjacent to Lyon. Operates a creation-and-touring model with associated artists and a strong institutional programming approach, making it the closest scale-and-mission comparable peer in the region.
• Théâtre des Célestins: Long-established municipal theater in Lyon presenting a season of dramatic and theatrical performances. Direct geographic and functional peer operating a playhouse-style venue in the same city, serving the same general public with comparable programming.
• Théâtre de la Croix-Rousse: Lyon-based Scène Nationale presenting a season of live performances with associated artists and community outreach. Comparable in its season-based programming, venue-based presentation, and Lyon regional audience focus.
• Théâtre de Sartrouville: Centre Dramatique National focused on creation and touring for young and family audiences. Comparable as a CDN-style creation house operating outside Paris with associated artists and touring programs.
• Le Théâtre du Nord (Lille): Centre Dramatique National in Lille operating two venues with creation, associated artists, and touring. Comparable CDN operating model and creation-driven programming, though based in northern France rather than the Lyon region.

Broad incumbents

• Comédie-Française: France's oldest and largest institutional theater, operating a permanent troupe and multi-venue season in Paris. Functions as a broad incumbent reference point for theater programming, but at vastly larger scale and with institutional funding the Point du Jour does not have.
• Théâtre de l'Odéon: National theater in Paris with European-scale creation and touring programs. Comparable as a creation-driven institutional theater but operating at a far larger scale and with national-theater status the Point du Jour does not hold.
