Théâtre de la Potinière, Theater venue in 2nd arrondissement of Paris, France.

Théâtre de la Potinière, also called La Pépinière-Théâtre, occupies the building at 7 rue Louis-le-Grand in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. Its pale beige stone facade has tall windows with black wrought-iron balcony railings above a faded reddish-brown lower section; a tall blue vertical sign with white dots reads "EPINIERE" and "OPERA". The hall seats 347.

Inaugurated on 3 May 1919 as the théâtre de la Potinière by Saint-Granier and Gaston Gabaroche, who staged revues there including Mazout alors with Arletty. In 1920 Raoul Audier created Les Goûters à la Parisienne, a two-hour tea-concert from 16:00 to 18:00. The hall became a cinema in 1935, was renamed théâtre Isola in 1937, théâtre George VI in 1938 and théâtre Louis-le-Grand in 1940, then took the name Pépinière-Opéra in 1993 under Pierre Jacquemont.

The theatre's name comes from its 1919 opening as théâtre de la Potinière, and from 1993 it was renamed Pépinière-Opéra. In 1920 Raoul Audier created Les Goûters à la Parisienne there, two hours of tea-concert from 4 to 6 pm. In October 1984 Philippe Bouvard recorded Le Petit Théâtre de Bouvard for Antenne 2 in the hall.

The theatre is at 7 rue Louis-le-Grand in the 2nd arrondissement, a short walk from the Opéra and Place Vendôme. The hall seats 347, so booking ahead matters for well-reviewed shows. Look for the tall blue vertical sign reading "EPINIERE" above the entrance on the pale stone facade.

The vertical blue sign reading "EPINIERE" and "OPERA" marks the entrance at 7 rue Louis-le-Grand. The name Pépinière-Opéra dates from 1993, when Pierre Jacquemont took over and shifted programming toward music. Before that the hall had been the Biothéâtre from 1975 to 1978, and in October 1984 Philippe Bouvard recorded Le Petit Théâtre de Bouvard there for Antenne 2.
