Theaterverein Reicholzried e. V. is an amateur theatre group in Reicholzried, a village in the municipality of Dietmannsried, district of Oberallgäu, Swabia, Bavaria, Germany. Since 1984 it has staged a Volkstheater play every year from Christmas onwards in the Musik- und Bürgerheim Reicholzried, attracting about 3,000 spectators a season.

History

Theatre has been played in Reicholzried since around 1900, with interruptions. In 1984 a new theatre group formed from the local rural youth (Landjugend), led at the time by Klaus Huber; five years later it became an independent registered association with its own statutes. The club has close to 130 active and supporting members.

Repertoire

The club's plays, meant both to entertain and occasionally to prompt reflection, draw on village and town life, with farmers, maids, farmhands and grandmothers among their typical characters. Productions have included S Herz in der Lederhosn, Der Weibernarr, Die Gaudi im Heu, Der Regierungsvetter, Die bayerische Prohibition, Der magische Anton and Gspenstermacher.
