The Theater Bruckmühl e. V. is an amateur theatre association in Bruckmühl, district of Rosenheim, Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1984 by Franz Schwaiger and registered in 1986 as Laientheater Bruckmühl, it has played since 1988 on the stage of the multi-purpose hall in Götting, staging boulevard comedies, crime plays and Bavarian comedies as well as children's plays.[1][2]
History
The theatre was founded in 1984 by Franz Schwaiger, who also became its chairman. It first rehearsed and played in the Catholic parish hall in Bruckmühl and moved the same year to the Protestant parish hall, which had a small fixed stage of five by two metres. Its stage debut was the children's Christmas play Das gestohlene schwarze Buch in winter 1984, followed in spring 1985 by the adult ensemble's first production, the Bavarian comedy Der Ehestreik.[1]
In 1986 the theatre was entered in the register of associations as Laientheater Bruckmühl. In 1988 it moved to the newly built multi-purpose hall in Götting, with a professional-sized stage, good lighting and sound equipment and an auditorium for 200, where it could also run its own bar; the first production there was Maxl, da liegt der Hund begraben. The same year it joined the Verband Bayerischer Amateurtheater e. V. In 1991 it gave its first guest performance abroad, Der Protectulus in Bruck an der Leitha, Austria, followed in 1994 by the children's group with Zauberwald. In 1999 it was renamed Theater Bruckmühl.[1]
While the adult ensemble at first played almost exclusively Bavarian comedies, in the mid-1990s, under chairman Norbert Baier, it turned to boulevard theatre; with Oskar and Kesselring's Arsen und Spitzenhäubchen it gained wider attention in the amateur theatre scene. Audience numbers rose from about 300 for four performances in the early years to up to 400 tickets sold in the first four hours of advance sales for six performances. Michael Frayn's Der nackte Wahnsinn in autumn 2009 set a record with nine performances, seven of them sold out, and 1,800 spectators. Since 2010 the group has alternated between boulevard plays, comedies, crime plays and Bavarian plays, chosen by a panel of its directors. In 2017 it celebrated 30 years as a registered association with an open-air production of Wer mit’m Deifi tanzt, written for the occasion by Heidi Faltlhauser.[1]
Repertoire
Productions named in the association's history include Das Wunder des Hl. Florian, Die drei Wildkatzen, Und ewig rauschen die Gelder, Ray Cooney's Außer Kontrolle, Keine Leiche ohne Lilly, Tratsch im Treppenhaus, Taxi, Taxi and Ratsch und Tratsch (spring 2003, when a Sunday morning performance with lunch was introduced).[1] In autumn 2026 the group staged Ralph Wallner's Boandlgeheimnis, directed by Heidi Faltlhauser and Miri Huber.[3]
