Theatergemeinschaft Schnaitsee e. V. is an amateur theatre association in Schnaitsee, district of Traunstein, Upper Bavaria, Germany.[1] It continues a local theatre tradition revived in 1975, was founded as an association on 6 January 1978, and had 319 members in 2022.[2][3]
History
Theatre was performed in Schnaitsee before and after the Second World War; a highlight was Das zerbrochene Hufeisen, staged in 1965 for the village's 1,000th anniversary. In 1975 director Franz Flötzl made a new start with Das Heiratsgenie, and on 6 January 1978 the Theatergemeinschaft Schnaitsee was founded. The first guest performance took place on 9 March 1980 in the Badria hall in Wasserburg am Inn, and on 30 October 1987 the group played as part of the citizens' play for Wasserburg's 850th anniversary.[2]
Flötzl retired in 2001 and was succeeded by Josef Unterforsthuber, who directed from 2002 to 2023 and changed the choice of plays towards more distinctive stories, beginning with scenes from Georg Lohmeier's Königlich Bayerisches Amtsgericht in 2005/06.[2][4] With Fahnaweih (2008/09) singing became a recurring element of the productions. The Grusical Die Vampertinger was performed at the Baumburger Kultursommer in the estate of Baumburg in 2012, followed there by Wolfgang Ambros's Der Watzmann ruft in 2014 and Ein Münchner im Himmel und in der Hölle in 2017. Open-air productions in Schnaitsee itself have included Der Watzmann ruft behind the town hall (2015), the poaching drama Bluad von da Gams about Georg Jennerwein on the market square, and Der Glockenkrieg at the Pschorrhof of the Baderbräu brewery.[2][5] Together with the local music society the association acquired a mobile stage with LEADER funding.[6]
Repertoire
Up to 2022 the group had staged 50 plays since 1975, mostly Bavarian comedies performed around Christmas and New Year, later also musical plays, Lohmeier's court scenes and open-air productions.[3][5]
