Sociétaires of the Comédie-Française

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The soci�taires of the Com�die-Fran�aise are chosen from among the pensionnaires who have been in the company a year or more.

They are decided upon in the course of a general assembly of the company's administrative committee, made up of 6 existing soci�taires, the senior soci�taire, and the general administrator. A pensionnaire is thus named a societaire by a decree of the Ministry of Culture, from names put forward by the general administrator of the Com�die-Fran�aise. On becoming a soci�taire, an actor automatically becomes a member of the Soci�t� des Com�diens-Fran�ais and receives a share of the profits as well as receiving a number of shares in the soci�t� to which he or she is contractually linked.

After his or her retirement, a soci�taire can continue to act, becoming an honorary soci�taire. The senior member of the Com�die-Fran�aise is not the oldest soci�taire, but the soci�taire who has been with the company longest (since their entering it as a pensionnaire).
