Close-up on the Librairie Théâtrale
A landmark institution in the world of theatre, La Librairie Théâtrale is both a publishing house and a hub for drama enthusiasts. Located across from the Opéra Comique since 1927, it has become a key reference point for actors, directors, and theatre educators alike. La Librairie Théâtrale plays a dual role: bookseller and publisher.
Long before the rise of large publishing groups, it was already publishing playwrights who would become classics, such as Eugène Labiche and Georges Feydeau. Staying true to this legacy, it continues to spotlight contemporary theatre through its three publishing imprints: La Librairie Théâtrale , Art et Comédie , and L’Œil du Prince , which together comprise a catalogue of over 1,500 titles.
Crealo user testimonial
Guillaume Benoit, Editor at La Librairie Théâtrale We asked Guillaume Benoit about his experience using Crealo. Here's what he shared:
Managing rights before Crealo
“We had an accountant who managed everything in Excel. It seemed appropriate for our scale and was relatively easy to implement. Above all, we needed a solution that could be set up quickly.”
The advantages of Crealo
"We now have access to all the features we need."
"One major benefit is the payment status tracking: at a glance, I can see the payment status and export a file directly for the bank."
An author portal that simplifies communication
"Once the royalty accounting is finalized, the author portal is updated and a notification is sent to the authors. It saves us time and prevents repeated requests for already-sent statements."
"The author portal is a real asset, for both us and the authors. It reassures them to have a dedicated space where they can access their statements."
"For our more engaged authors, it’s also a convenient way to update their information. I now plan to make this tool standard for all our authors."
Responsive customer support
"I’m satisfied with the support team, we’ve always received quick responses and solutions to our requests."
A smooth onboarding experience
"Setup was very straightforward. We started gradually, with around a hundred contracts, and the platform proved intuitive for entering sales and generating accounting exports."
