The Sendlinger TheaterInitiative is an amateur theatre initiative from the Sendling district of Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Formed in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it aims to enrich cultural life in Sendling and to offer a platform for amateur and semi-professional actors, cabaret artists and musicians.[1]
History
The idea for the initiative arose in 2020, when its members still hoped to bring live events back to audiences the following year. They saw it as difficult for amateurs and semi-professionals to stage their own events alongside Munich's extensive cultural offer. The group describes itself as mixed in age, gender identity and stage experience, and has also taken its productions on tour.[1] Its first production, the inn opera Heut stirbt da Jedermann, premiered on 16 September 2021.[2]
Repertoire
The group's productions combine theatre with music and Bavarian dialect, often in pub settings:[2][3]
- Heut stirbt da Jedermann, a "Wirtshaus-Oper" (inn opera) adapted from Hugo von Hofmannsthal's Jedermann with musical numbers, premiere 16 September 2021, with further performances in 2022 and a guest performance in the Salzburg region.[2]
- Heilige Nacht, Ludwig Thoma's Christmas legend in a version by the initiative, with music after the original setting by Hermann Marx, presented in Advent, again in 2024.[3]
- Ritter Unkenstein by Karl Valentin, transferred from its 1939 Ritterspelunke setting to present-day Sendling, back in the programme from autumn 2024, directed by Thomas Mack.[4]
- Hamlet 4 2, Hamlet seen from the perspective of two minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, written by Thomas Mack and in the programme since September 2025; in July 2026 it was performed at the Zum Sorgenfrei in Regensburg.[5][6]
- A satirical Starkbier sermon (Starkbier Blecken) for Sendling, modelled on the Nockherberg tradition.[7]
