'''Théâtre Jean Renoir e. V.''' is a [[wikipedia:French language|French-language]] amateur theatre company in [[wikipedia:Munich|Munich]], Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 2004, it stages a production of contemporary French drama every year, aiming to bring together a francophone and francophile audience.<ref name="compagnie" />

== History ==
The company grew out of the ''Atelier Jean Renoir'', a theatre workshop at the French lycée in Munich (today the [[wikipedia:Lycée Jean Renoir (Munich)|Lycée Jean Renoir]]) for teachers and upper-school students, led by a literature teacher, an art teacher and a professional actor. For more than 20 years the workshop introduced students to notable dramatic texts; it won first prize in an inter-school drama competition in Versailles, ahead of the French lycées of Saint Petersburg and London, with a collage of French theatre characters from four centuries. In 2004 the former literature teacher, Valérie Weidenfeld, founded the Théâtre Jean Renoir as an independent company.<ref name="compagnie" />

== Repertoire ==
The company concentrates on contemporary French dramatists, including [[wikipedia:Yasmina Reza|Yasmina Reza]] and [[wikipedia:Jean Anouilh|Jean Anouilh]]. Its 2026 production, ''Politiquement correct'', had a run of more than twenty performances in April and May 2026.<ref name="compagnie" /><ref name="repertoire" /><ref name="affiche" />
