Theater fratze im kopp e.V. is an amateur theatre group based in Gemünden in the Westerwaldkreis, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.[1] Founded in 1998, it stages one comedy each year, usually in November, in the village community hall.[1][2]
History
The group grew out of the local volunteer fire brigade: at the brigade's Christmas party in 1997, members looked for a way to finance a new fire engine and decided to put on a play. Rehearsals first took place in a private cellar and then moved to the Dorfgemeinschaftshaus, which the municipality made available.[2] The first production, Der Neurosenkavalier, followed in 1998.[3]
The group marked its tenth anniversary in 2008 with an evening in the Dorfgemeinschaftshaus, at which it performed Hans Sachs's one-act play Das Kälberbrüten in the local dialect ("Geminner Platt"), followed by a guest performance by the comedian Till Hoheneder.[2][4]
Repertoire
The group performs full-length comedies and farces in German, generally one production per year.[3] Its productions have been reviewed regularly in the regional press, including the Westerwälder Zeitung, the Wäller Wochenspiegel and the Nassauische Neue Presse.[5][6]

Venue
The group performs in the Dorfgemeinschaftshaus (village community hall) next to the market square in Gemünden.[14]
Organisation
The group works closely with the Gemünden volunteer fire brigade, from which it originated.[2] During the 2011 performances it sold a themed schnapps named after the play; together with further donations and a contribution from the association, 1,500 euros were donated in 2012 to the Wilhelm-Albrecht-Schule in Höhn.[15]
