Case Study: Atelier Théâtre Actuel achieves faster, secure contract signing and lower costs with Adobe Acrobat Sign

E-signature services take to the stage at Atelier Théâtre Actuel

Atelier Théâtre Actuel is an award‑winning French theater company that produces about 25 shows and 700 performances a year for over 500,000 attendees. With 18 full‑time staff and hundreds of seasonal workers, the company had to draw up nearly 400 contracts every month; relying on printed mail caused frequent delays, lost documents, and time‑consuming manual chasing and archiving.

The company implemented Adobe Acrobat Sign to send contracts electronically, enable mobile signing and countersigning, and automate archiving. Processing times fell from weeks to a few days, printing costs dropped by 25% and postage by 75%, and administrators regained time previously spent on manual tasks—allowing the team to focus more on creating and producing shows.
