The Leni-Theater (also written LeNi-Theater; full name "Leni-Theater" Lebendiges Niederkirchen) is an amateur theatre group in Niederkirchen bei Deidesheim in the Bad Dürkheim district of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.[1] It is the theatre group of the local village association Lebendiges Niederkirchen and stages a comedy each spring.[2]

History

According to the regional newspaper Die Rheinpfalz, the theatre formed in 2005 as one of several sub-groups of the association Lebendiges Niederkirchen (abbreviated Leni). The group works without a director: the choice of text, the stage design and the costumes are decided jointly by the participants.[3]

Repertoire

The group rehearses a new production every spring and has staged comedies in recent years.[2] Plays written in standard German have been performed largely in the Palatine dialect; for Es fährt kein Zug nach Irgendwo (2026) the cast transferred the text into Palatine German and added regional allusions.[4][2]
