The kleine bühne Wolfenbüttel e.V. is an amateur theatre association in Wolfenbüttel, Lower Saxony, Germany.[1] Founded on 7 January 1989 in the theatre hall of Wolfenbüttel Castle, where it still performs, it stages several plays a year for adults and children.[2]

History

The association was founded on 7 January 1989 in the castle's theatre hall; its first production, the comedy Brave Diebe, followed in March 1989. It celebrated its 25th anniversary with a ceremony on 7 January 2014, at which founding members were honoured by the state and federal amateur theatre associations, and its 35th anniversary in 2024. By then it had staged about 125 plays in more than 590 performances for around 90,000 spectators, an average of about 155 per performance.[2]

Repertoire

The association produces comedies, farces and crime plays for adults as well as a children's play each year, usually a fairy tale.[3] Its roughly 50 active players range in age from under 8 to over 80.[2]
