Just before the performance begins, we throw ourselves actively into the production, perform the story in a quick run through and familiarise ourselves with the characters. A warm-up for everyone who enjoys acting while the ensemble is busy getting ready backstage.

In a guided tour lasting 90 minutes, you will learn all about our new (and old) theatre base on Offenbachplatz. We also go on to explain how theatre productions are created and reveal some secrets from our workshops, ranging from costume and stage design to the technical department. An inspiring tour through and behind the scenes!

Dates and tickets

Are you curious about the theatre but sometimes don’t know exactly what you want to see? Would you like to be part of a community with whom you can talk about what you've just experienced? The GUCKKLUB meets once a month and is open to everyone aged 16 and over: you can meet new people and deepen your understanding of theatre — and finish off the evening with a lively discussion.

We invite people from the LGBTQIA+-community to productions that engage with queer issues. What meaning does the representation of gender, sexuality and diversity have? There is a short introduction to the production before the performance, followed by an after-show Talks in a relaxed setting.

In this discovery programme, we join you in advance of your theatre visit to explore places in the city that reflect aspects of a production. We browse through archives, stroll through current exhibitions or investigate entire city districts. The knowledge we gather along the way allows us to view the productions on stage from a new perspective.

Why do we sometimes do things even though we know they aren’t right? In the accompanying programme to our new family play PINOCCHIO, we turn the truth upside down, invent excuses together, try out new roles, test our courage and let our noses grow. Your visit to the theatre can be enhanced with a broad range of offers for families or school classes: interactive introductions, workshops, accompanying material and extended training.
