History

Theatre was already being played in Übersee before the curate (Kooperator) Kottermaier founded the club in 1910. Performances continued during the First World War and were spread over the whole year, mainly for local audiences; only in the 1930s did the plays come to be seen as an attraction for summer visitors. The club prospered in the 1920s and declined in the Great Depression.[2]

After a long interruption, theatre resumed after the Second World War, and the club even staged Singspiele (musical plays), which it also performed outside Übersee. For decades Jakl Schupfner and Erika Gnadl recruited new players; Waltraud Gries has chaired the club since January 2000. The club celebrated its centenary in 2010, when it had more than 30 active members.[2]

There were no performances during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.[4][5]

Productions

The main production runs in summer, with performances on Sunday and Friday evenings; tickets are sold through the Übersee tourist information office.[3][6] A children's and youth group grew out of a project of the local holiday programme in 2005 and has been expanded since 2015.[7]
