Théâtre du Saulcy by Nemorino
This pleasant little theater is on the campus of Paul Verlaine University and was opened in 1998. It has seats for 144 spectators and is run by the Cultural Action Service of the University ("le service commun d'Action Culturelle de l'Université Paul Verlaine ? Metz").They have quite a full program of professional and amateur theater.
Admission to a professional performance (and the one I saw was highly professional, I can assure you) costs EUR 11.00 at the normal rate, EUR 7.50 for university employees and EUR 4.50 for students and the unemployed. For amateur productions the rate is EUR 4.50 for everybody.
The play I saw, Tentation by Carles Batlle, was presented on four consecutive evenings, Monday through Thursday. (See my Metz intro page for more details.)

Fifth photo: At the entrance to the university campus there is large map showing all the buildings, and the theater is # 16 on the map. It's at the front end of the campus, between the library and the student union building.
