“The Comédie-Française carries within it this utopia that consists of reading the present in the light of the past, its missions being too vast and the curiosity of its artisans too insatiable to be reduced to one meaning rather than another. The common catalyst remains its Troupe and all its departments, working tirelessly to lead you on these fanciful paths.”
ÉRIC RUF
Administrative Board, Reading Committee: the artists preside over the destiny of the Comédie-Française.
Chaired by the General Administrator, it is composed of seven tenured sociétaires – including the Doyen/Doyenne, who is an ex officio member – and two deputies. The composition of the committee is changed every year.
Precise composition:
The Administrative Board deliberates on subjects affecting the life of the Troupe, such as:
In a team boosted by two representatives from the technical and administrative staff and one representative of the pensionnaires, the Administrative Board examines and approves the budget and accounts by vote, as well as the decisive projects for the institution, in the presence of the Minister for Culture and budget controllers.
The Reading Committee examines the texts proposed by the General Administrator with a view to adding them to the Comédie-Française repertoire. Only works that have been registered in the repertoire, which ranges from Greek tragedies to contemporary authors, maybe performed on the main stage, currently the Salle Richelieu.
It is chaired by the General Administrator. It is made up of twelve members:
