Das PettenDorftheater e. V. is an amateur theatre association in Pettendorf in the district of Regensburg, Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany. It stages a large production every autumn at the Mayerwirt inn in Pettendorf, runs a youth theatre (Das kleine PettenDorftheater) and organises cultural events in the Pettendorf castle cellar. In 2025 it won the Bavarian amateur theatre prize Larifari in the drama category.[1]
Productions
The group's 2024 production Cluedo – ein mörderisches Spiel received first prize in the drama category of the Larifari award of the Verband Bayerischer Amateurtheater e. V., presented in 2025 in the Salzstadel in Landshut; 38 groups from across Bavaria had applied in that category. The Mittelbayerische Zeitung and the broadcaster niederbayernTV reported on the award in October 2025.[1]
In September 2026 the group gave two sold-out staged readings of Yasmina Reza's Der Gott des Gemetzels in the Pettendorf castle cellar, with further performances planned for 2027 in Pielenhofen. Its autumn 2026 production is Sam Bobrick's crime comedy Trink oder Stirb, a parody of 1940s and 1950s film noir, with one evening combined with a three-course dinner.[1]
The youth section Das kleine PettenDorftheater received the youth culture prize of the district of Regensburg in 2023. For Advent 2026 it is staging Als der Weihnachtsmann vom Himmel fiel after Cornelia Funke's children's book.[1]
Other activities
The association also organises "Kultur im Schlosskeller", a series of cultural events in the vaulted cellar of Pettendorf castle, which marked its 20th anniversary with a sold-out concert by the Regensburg band Uncle Sally.[1]
