About
Théâtre Jérome Savary is a theatre venue in the Montpellier area of France, named after the French director and playwright Jérôme Savary. It is a place for theatrical and live performances, and it makes a straightforward evening out for anyone who enjoys being in the audience.
The theatre is a municipal venue inside the Centre Culturel Bérenger de Frédol in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, a town just outside Montpellier. Its address is on Boulevard des Moures, and the centre houses the hall in which performances take place.
What to expect from the programme
The venue runs a cultural season that generally runs from September to May. Local listings describe a mix of theatre, circus, music, cinema and dance, coordinated by the town's cultural department. Alongside these, the programme includes puppetry and shows aimed at young audiences, and some of these shows are free to attend. Because the season covers a wide range of styles, it can suit a varied group of visitors, from families to those with a particular taste for stage work.
Practical notes
Seating in the hall is unreserved, so you choose your place when you arrive. The hall is accessible to people with reduced mobility. Late arrivals may be refused entry, so it is worth allowing time to settle in before the performance begins. The theatre has its own website, where the current season and details of individual shows are usually listed.
Details of capacity and the full programme change from season to season, so it is best to check the current listings before you plan your visit. For a visitor to the Montpellier area, the theatre offers a relaxed way to see live performance, with a season that runs through much of the year.
