The '''LSK Theater Mainburg e. V.''' is an amateur theatre group in [[wikipedia:Mainburg|Mainburg]], in the [[wikipedia:Hallertau|Hallertau]] region of the district of [[wikipedia:Kelheim (district)|Kelheim]], Lower Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1968 as the ''Laienspielkreis Mainburg St. Salvator'', it plays for adults in spring and autumn and for children at Christmas in its own theatre hall in the old grammar school, and has won the district's culture prize and the ''Larifari'' Bavarian amateur theatre prize.<ref name="verein" /><ref name="kelheim" /><ref name="larifari" />

== History ==
The group was founded in 1968 by the Capuchin friar Columban Meier from the Catholic youth movement as the ''Laienspielkreis Mainburg St. Salvator'', with the promotion of art and culture through drama as its statutory aim. In 1973 it joined the [[Bund Deutscher Amateurtheater (BDAT)]]. Its repertoire developed from rural comedies and boulevard plays to contemporary dialect drama and modern dramatists, alongside the classics.<ref name="verein" /> In 1999 it became the first recipient of the ''Kunst- und Kulturpreis'' of the district of Kelheim.<ref name="kelheim" /> The award prompted the conversion of the hall of the old grammar school (''Aula des Alten Gymnasiums'') into a modern theatre; when the new hall opened in spring 2002 the group took its present name.<ref name="verein" /> The improv group [[ImproTheater Chamäleon]] in [[wikipedia:Regensburg|Regensburg]] grew out of its youth groups in 1998.<ref name="chamaeleon" />

== Repertoire ==
Besides rural comedies and farces the group has staged classics and modern drama, such as [[wikipedia:Karl Schönherr|Karl Schönherr]]'s ''Der Weibsteufel'' (2017), Felix Mitterer's ''Die Siebtelbauern'' (2018), [[wikipedia:Ken Kesey|Ken Kesey]]'s ''[[wikipedia:One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (play)|Einer flog über das Kuckucksnest]]'' (2025) and [[wikipedia:Ferdinand von Schirach|Ferdinand von Schirach]]'s ''Gott'' (2026). Its youth groups present their own short plays at an annual ''Fest der Jugend'', and in summer it plays open-air theatre for children, in 2026 the commissioned piece ''Alma Laubfrosch – Großes Abenteuer am Fluss'' by Sabrina Hertle for a local nature-conservation project.<ref name="archiv" /><ref name="home" />
