When it was built in Agen, this theatre with its semi-circular facade and totally constructed in reinforced concrete, was extremely unusual. It was decorated by the greatest artists of the time like Calbet, Tourné, Bacqué and Boyé and opened by President Armand Fallières who came from the area.
Every year the theatre schedules shows favouring contemporary creation.
