Schauspiel-Club Heiterhaufen is an amateur theatre association based in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It performs classic plays, self-written pieces and fully improvised shows in two ensembles: the play ensemble Mainzer Heiterhaufen and the improvisational theatre ensemble Mainzer Scheiterhaufen.[1]

History

The improv ensemble grew out of an improvisation course run by the Mainz improv theatre Die Affirmative. Its name derives from its motto "Heiter Scheitern" ("cheerful failing"), which the group describes as a basic premise of improvisational theatre.[2] In 2023 the ensemble appeared online as Scheiterhaufen Mainz, an improvisational theatre ensemble in Mainz.[3]

Repertoire

The association's stated aim is to promote the performing arts, acting and amateur theatre; its programme ranges from classics and self-written plays to completely improvised performances, and it also offers workshops.[1] Productions listed for 2026 are the premiere of Ein Mord und eine Seele by the Heiterhaufen ensemble, the improv show Die Scheiterhaufen-Wundertüte and the format Zeichnen trifft Impro.[4]
