Overview

The Théâtre National Populaire was founded in 1920 by Firmin Gémier, with the intention to present theatrical productions to a very large public more than the creation of those works. It was transferred to the renowned theater in Villeurbanne in 1972, with the concept of creating a genuinely national theater as a service accessible to all while retaining Villeurbanne at its core. The TNP works to discover all genres of texts and theatrical aesthetic both native to France and from around the world. It proposes a wide range of ticket prices and subscription packages, with details available on the website.
