The Théâtre Tristan-Bernard is a private Parisian theater with 400 seats at 64 Rue du Rocher, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris .

Built in 1911 by the Léopold-Bellan Foundation (to which it still belongs to this day) for the meetings and theater performances of the girls' school it runs, the hall is opened to the public in 1919 as the Théâtre Albert 1er , so-called in honor of the King of the Belgians .

Tristan Bernard took over the management in 1930, renamed it Theater Tristan-Bernard and performed his comedies there for one season. After his departure, the theater was given its old name Albert I.

In 1936 Charles de Rochefort , having returned from the USA, where he had worked in particular for Cecil B. DeMille , opened the theater under his name with Allo, Police-secours , a detective piece he himself wrote under the pseudonym Chas D. Strongstone. The success of this first prompted him to perform numerous other crime plays and thrillers. In May every year there was a competition for young theater companies. In World War II confiscated and wounded, he had the line of the house of his wife, actress Mary Grant, left, which it led together with her son Jean Dejoux to 1972nd

In 1973 Dominique Nohain, son of the entertainer Jean Nohain, bought it and renamed it Theater Tristan-Bernard. Edy Saiovici succeeded him in 1986 and managed the house until his death in 2013; since then it has been run by his wife Mireille.

In 2010, 50 Parisian private theaters decided to join the “Association for the Promotion of Private Theater” (French: Association pour le soutien du théâtre privé, abbreviation ASTP) and the “National Association of Directors of Private Theaters” (French: Syndicat national des directeurs et tourneurs du théâtre privé, abbreviation SNDTP), to which the Theater Tristan-Bernard belongs, to pool their forces under a common name, "United Paris Theaters" (French: Théâtres parisiens associés).

From January 10 to April 30, 2014, the play Mangez-le si vous voulez, adapted and staged by Clotilde Morgiève and Jean-Christophe Dollé based on the novel of the same name by Jean Teulé based on the drama of Hautefaye , was shown here .
