The coat of arms is located on the entrance façade of the Epernay Theater.

In a Louis XV style, it is an Italian theater that has mobilized other artists for its decoration as the sculptor Georges Trugard, the painter Georges Clairin. But also Joseph Ascoli, a sculptor who decorates the upper façade of the facade with his work "The Champagne vine inspires theatrical Art".

It honors the spanish actress Gabrielle Dorziat.

It is a listed monument building in 1988.

The coat of arms of Epernay derives its origin from that of Louise of Savoy, mother of King Francis I. She had offered it to Epernay in 1525 as a sign of gratitude for the city she had protected after the razzias of the Emperor Charles V.'s troops across the Marne.

Les armoiries se situent sur la façade d'entrée du théatre d'Epernay.

Dans un style Louis XV, c'est un théâtre à l'italienne qui a mobilisé d'autres artistes pour sa décoration comme le sculpteur Georges Trugard, le peintre Georges Clairin. Mais aussi Joseph Ascoli, un sculpteur sparnacien qui décore le fronton supérieur de la façade avec son œuvre "La vigne champenoise inspirant l'Art théâtral".

Il rend honneur à l'actrice sparnacienne Gabrielle Dorziat.

C'est un bâtiment inscrit aux Monuments historiques en 1988.

Le blason d’Épernay tire son origine de celui de Louise de Savoie, mère du roi François Ier. Elle l’avait offert à Épernay en 1525, en signe de reconnaissance envers la ville qu’elle avait protégée après les razzias des troupes de l’empereur Charles-Quint à travers la Marne.
