Dear Parents, a comedy from Emmanuel Patron and Armelle Patron, is back at the Théâtre de Paris starting May 27, 2026 for 30 exclusive performances. Nominated at the Molières 2022 in the best comedy category, the play moves to Salle Réjane with a refreshed cast.
The play follows Pierre, Jules and Louise Gauthier, three children deeply attached to their parents, Jeanne and Vincent. When the parents ask them to come to them urgently, the siblings brace for the worst. But the news from the parents is nothing like the drama they fear. Yet it triggers a cascade of reactions that unsettles the family’s balance.
Through this opening setup, Chers Parents examines family ties, love, money, each person’s place within the sibling group, and the sometimes conflicting expectations between parents and children. The comedy hinges on the mismatch between a piece of good news presented as joyous and the tensions it reveals within the family.
The production is staged by Armelle Patron, Anne Dupagne, and Emmanuel Patron. For this revival at the Théâtre de Paris, the announced cast features Frédérique Tirmont, Bernard Alane, Élise Diamant, Thomas Sagols, and Emmanuel Patron or Stéphane Brel. The costumes are by Nadia Chmilewsky, the set design by Édouard Laug, the lighting by Laurent Beal, and the music by Michel Amsellem.
After several seasons of success on stage and a film adaptation, Chers Parents continues its Paris run with a fresh slate of performances. The show is scheduled Wednesday through Saturday at 9 p.m. and Sundays at 3:30 p.m., with a total running time of 1 hour 30 minutes and no intermission.
