Concept
The association's productions are directed and prepared by professional theatre practitioners, while the young performers, aged from six to 28, take part without pay. The association describes its aim as giving young people a cultural and artistic education and as a platform for young talent, some of whom have gone on to professional careers. By its own count, more than 700 young people have performed in more than 60 productions.[1]
Repertoire
The main focus is on musicals, revues and children's theatre. The association highlights its own productions, such as revues on the spirit of particular decades and original children's plays, as well as young interpretations of classics, experimental drama, operetta and opera.[1]
Productions listed by the association include the musicals Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Du bist in Ordnung, Charlie Brown, The Addams Family, Frühlings Erwachen and a musical based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail; the children's opera Brundibár combined with a piece titled Myrjam Ghettokind; Faust [on speed] – ein Faust-Remix; Oscar Wilde's Bunbury (The Importance of Being Earnest); the 1990s revue Hyper! Hyper! and the 1960s revue Surfin' Summer; and a promenade production for the 40th anniversary of the Koblenz Kulturfabrik.[2]
Organisation
The Koblenzer Jugendtheater is funded by the Stiftung Zukunft of the Sparkasse Koblenz, the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, the city of Koblenz and regional sponsors, but mainly by the subscriptions and donations of its supporting members.[1]
