With the arrival of September, the Paris theater scene is back in full swing. The curtains go up again in every district of the capital, and the plays on offer in Paris in September 2025 promise to be numerous, varied and inspired. From eagerly-awaited new productions to revisited texts and contemporary comedies, this new artistic season is aimed at a wide audience, eager to reconnect with the pleasures of live performance.
Theaters in Paris take advantage of this period to launch their new programs: creations by renowned directors, promising actors and prestigious casts. This diversity means that there's something for everyone: classical theater, boulevard plays, comedies of manners, intimate monologues, political theater or hybrid forms. September is often synonymous with premieres, the ideal opportunity to discover shows before they're sold out.
In this selection of the 10 must-see plays in Paris in September 2025, we find as much diversity as enthusiasm. One thing's for sure: the Paris theater scene is off to a flying start.
