Theaterclub Schwabsburg is an amateur theatre club in Schwabsburg, a district of Nierstein in the Mainz-Bingen district of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The non-profit association, active since 2013, organises a summer programme of mainly cabaret performances and small-scale theatre productions in the barn theatre Smeisser's Scheune.[1]
History
The club has been a non-profit association since the summer of 2013, the same year Smeisser's Scheune became its playing space.[1][2] Its stated aim was to bring mostly cabaret performances to audiences in the countryside, with about twelve performances on different themes each year between June and September, financed in part by supporting members.[1]
No programme could be announced for 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The 2022 season was billed as marking twenty years of Smeisser's Scheune in the Niersteiner Kultursommer,[4] and in 2023 the club celebrated its tenth anniversary.[5]
Repertoire
The programme consists largely of guest performances: political, musical and dialect cabaret, solo theatre, literary theatre, readings, chanson evenings, concerts, a magic show and improvisational theatre.[6][7][8][4]
The ensemble Theater in der Provinz (TIP) has premiered a series of comic adaptations of classic German dramas there: Fast Faust by Albert Frank, after Goethe's Faust, in 2015,[6] tell – Tell by Albert Frank, after Schiller's Wilhelm Tell, in 2016,[7] en Riss is im Dippsche, freely after Heinrich von Kleist's Der zerbrochne Krug, in 2022,[4] and Was war mit der Stuart los?, freely after Schiller's Maria Stuart, in 2023.[5][9]
Venue
Smeisser's Scheune is a small theatre in a converted barn in Schwabsburg, laid out to keep the atmosphere of an open-air stage despite its brick walls and fixed roof. It has 50 seats in tiered rows and an adjoining courtyard.[2] The venue's website lists the town of Nierstein's Innovation des Jahres 2013 and the Schwabsburg Schönster Innenhof (most beautiful courtyard) title of 2014 and 2019 among its local honours.[2]
