Theatre Workshops

La Compagnie Astoria opens the doors to its theatrical world with 2-hour immersive workshops. Accessible to everyone—children, teenagers, and adults—our sessions are adapted by age and level, offering a caring and stimulating environment where expression, creation, and collaboration are key.

The experience is unique: you are divided into small groups (around 6 participants) to rehearse a scene inspired by the play you will discover later that evening. Supervised by professional artists, you explore all dimensions of theatre: from acting to staging, including set design, costumes, makeup, sound, and music. Everyone finds their place and contributes to the collective project, whether as an actor, director, or backstage technician.

The workshop concludes in a convivial atmosphere with the presentation of each group's creations, followed by a playful awards ceremony (best acting, staging, costumes, etc.). To prolong the magic, you will then have the option to attend a show in French with English surtitles at the Théâtre de la Huchette.

Please Note: Theatre in Paris only offers theatre workshops to groups of 10 people or more.
We recommend contacting us via our group request form at least 1 month in advance. This will allow us to ensure that everything is planned smoothly and ready for the day of your workshop.
