Théâtre de la Commune Aubervilliers was created in 1965 thanks to the enthusiasm of two Frenchmen: Jack Ralite, the deputy mayor of the town and Gabriel Garran, a stage director. This renowned theater artist became director of the theater he created for more than 20 years. He was also the founding-father of the “Théâtre international de la langue française” (TILF). It was formerly a city hall and then a show-venue, Théâtre de la Commune, the first permanent theater in the north east suburbs of Paris, became Centre Dramatique National in 1971. A few years later, the Théâtre Gérard Philipe and the New Theater de Montreuil were also promoted to the ranks of Centre Dramatique National. In 1974, various refurbishment works were done to change the theater and its facilities particularly with the creation of a second hall and the facade was equally transformed. The theater of Aubervilliers was refurbished in 1998 and 1999 with new renovations.
In 1985, Alfredo Arias and his theater company "groupe TSE" moved into Théâtre de la Commune. The company presented both contemporary and classic creations not forgetting the much appreciated music-hall parodies. Actress, stage director, Pandora company founder, Brigitte Jacques succeeded him in 1991.
