Bunte Bühne Armsheim e.V. is an amateur theatre group based in Armsheim, Alzey-Worms district, in the Rhenish Hesse region of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.[1] Founded in 1992, it stages comedies, farces and crime comedies by international playwrights, traditionally with about five performances on the first weekends of November.[2]

History

The group was founded in 1992, growing out of a Christmas performance of Das Christkind mit der roten Nase at the local kindergarten. Its first production was Kille Kille the same year. In 1993 each of the players paid a founding contribution of 100 DM, which was repaid to the founding members in 1997. In 1994 the group performed a sketch for the opening of the Radsporthalle Armsheim and was entered in the register of associations. It joined the Landesverband Amateurtheater Rheinland-Pfalz e. V. in 1995 and set up a children's stage (Kinderbühne) in 1996.[3]

From the mid-2000s, young players from the group's youth stage (Jugendbühne) appeared in the main productions, first in Dem Himmel sei Dank (2005).[4] The chronicle lists no productions for 2020 to 2022; regular annual productions resumed in 2023.[3][5]

Repertoire

The group stages one evening-length comedy each year; several early plays were later revived.[3] In its early years it also gave guest performances in Saulheim and Flonheim.[3]

Since 2002 the group has donated the box-office takings of each premiere to local causes, mostly 777 euros a year; recipients have included the Armsheim volunteer fire brigade, the village kindergartens, the Catholic parish for the floor of the Remigiushof and the Protestant church for its organ renovation, as well as a church aid project in Zambia in 2002.[3][15]
