History
The group began in 1986 with a one-act play for the Christmas party of the sports club SC München. Forty years later it performs a new full-length play over several consecutive spring weekends, with catering for the audience. For its 20th and 25th anniversaries, in 2006 and 2011, it published chronicles of its founding and history.[1][2] In 2021, instead of a stage production, the group made a film, Das Märchen vom verschollenen Märchen.[3]
Repertoire
The group covers "almost all genres" of popular theatre.[1] The group has staged a production almost every year since 1986, including several translations of English-language comedies as well as revivals of earlier productions.[3]
