Comédie Bastille, Theater in 11th arrondissement of Paris, France.
Comédie Bastille is a theatre at 5 rue Nicolas-Appert in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, installed in a former joinery workshop. Its facade carries a dark green flat canopy lettered "Comédie BASTILLE" in red, with four small yellow squares; below it a barred window reads "BATACLAN PREMIER", and a dark red panelled double door stands open at the centre. A dark green cylindrical column topped with a dome rises at the right end of the canopy.
In 1985 a joinery workshop at 5 rue Nicolas-Appert was converted into a theatre, giving rise to the Comédie Bastille. In 2010 the venue joined fifty Paris private theatres grouped under the ASTP and SNDTP, which adopted the new banner "Théâtres Parisiens Associés".
The theatre's name links it to the Bastille district, and its sign, a dark green canopy with red lettering, faces the street. In 2010 the Comédie Bastille joined 50 Paris private theatres grouped under the banner "Théâtres Parisiens Associés", an initiative of the ASTP and the SNDTP. The building began as a joinery workshop before becoming a theatre in 1985.
