'''Mimenfeld – Neues Theater Neuburg''' (MiMENFELD e. V.) is an amateur theatre group in [[wikipedia:Neuburg an der Donau|Neuburg an der Donau]], Bavaria, Germany.<ref name="impressum" /> Founded in 2006 by experienced amateur actors, it stages one production of contemporary or classic modern drama and comedy each spring.<ref name="ueberuns" />

== History ==
Mimenfeld was formed at the beginning of February 2006 by about 25 Neuburg theatre enthusiasts with stage experience, most of them from the group [[Ottheinrichs Fröhliches Gesinde]], with the aim of offering modern and demanding theatre in Neuburg. Its first production, ''Haltestelle. Geister.'' by [[wikipedia:Helmut Krausser|Helmut Krausser]], was given four well-attended performances in 2006.<ref name="ueberuns" />

For its tenth anniversary in 2015 the group left the Studienseminar theatre for the first time. After performing in the Sporthotel Rödenhof from 2016,<ref name="ueberuns" /> it resumed in 2022 after almost three years' break caused by the [[wikipedia:COVID-19 pandemic in Germany|COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref name="ada" /> For its 20th anniversary in 2026 it presented its first open-air production, in the garden of the Stadtmuseum Neuburg; from the 2027 season it is to have a permanent venue in the Neuburg Kolpinghaus.<ref name="neues" />

== Repertoire ==
The group favours contemporary plays and black comedy; it has staged several plays by [[wikipedia:Alan Ayckbourn|Alan Ayckbourn]] and two by Noah Haidle.<ref name="neues" /><ref name="ada" /> Some productions are accompanied by live music from the group's ''Mimenband''.<ref name="glaenzen" /> No productions took place in 2020 and 2021.<ref name="ada" />
