Theatergruppe Arzbach e.V. is an amateur theatre group in Arzbach, Rhein-Lahn-Kreis, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.[1] Besides its stage productions it runs an annual St Nicholas visiting campaign for charitable causes.[2]
History
The group was founded in 1980. In Advent 1984 it first held its Nikolausaktion as an official campaign of the theatre group of the Arzbach parish, after a member had made private St Nicholas visits in the village in the preceding years.[2] In 2024 the regular hall was unavailable because of defective emergency lighting, and the group put on a variety evening in the parish centre instead of a full-length play so as not to cancel its theatre work for the year.[3]
Repertoire
In October 2016 the group staged the comedy thriller Mord im Moor by Jochen Wiltschko, revised by a member of the group, in four sold-out performances.[4] The regional amateur theatre association lists Doppelt leben hält besser (2023) and a Passionsspiel (passion play, 2025) among the group's past productions.[1] In late October 2024 the group presented the variety programme NOTBELEUCHTUNG – SPOT ON – Ein Potpourri der guten Laune in four performances attended by about 400 people; it included a three-act piece written by a member of the group, partly in the local dialect Orzbächer Platt, as well as solo sketches, an improvisation round and musical numbers.[3]
Venue
The group performs in the Limeshalle in Arzbach.[4] In 2024, while the hall could not be used for larger evening events, it played in the Pfarrzentrum (parish centre) Arzbach.[3]
Organisation
The association is a group of the Catholic parish of St. Peter und Paul in Arzbach.[5] Besides its theatre work it runs the Nikolausaktion: each Advent members visit families, clubs, kindergartens and care homes in Arzbach, Kadenbach and the surrounding area as St Nicholas, accompanied by Knecht Ruprecht, and collect donations for charitable projects for children. By 2024 the campaign had passed on more than 40,000 euros.[2] The group also lays a flower carpet for the Corpus Christi altar in the garden of the Caritas Altenzentrum St. Josef in Arzbach.[6]
