History

In its early years the group used the proceeds of its performances to make children's playgrounds in Vallendar more child-friendly. Today it selects the recipients of its donations by broader social criteria within the Verbandsgemeinde Vallendar.[2]

In 1998 the group staged the comedy Pension Schöller, including a performance in the Silbersaal of the Kurtheater in Bad Ems, which a critic in the local Bad Ems newspaper reviewed under the headline „Selten so köstlich amüsiert“. After Der kleine Lord in November 2023, a third act of Das Geisterschiff planned for spring 2024 was not performed for scheduling, staffing and health reasons. The group then revived Pension Schöller with 15 performers in November 2024; its five performances drew more than 800 spectators.[3]
