The '''Peichinger Bauerntheater 1965 e. V.''' (PBT), which also runs the ''Theater Oberpeiching'', is an amateur theatre association in Oberpeiching, a district of the town of [[wikipedia:Rain, Swabia|Rain]] in the district of [[wikipedia:Donau-Ries|Donau-Ries]], [[wikipedia:Swabia (Bavaria)|Swabia]], Bavaria, Germany. Since 1965 it has staged a Bavarian rural comedy (''Bauernkomödie'') every year; since 2010 it has also hosted guest performances by cabaret artists and musicians under the label ''TOP'' (Theater Oberpeiching).<ref name="home" /><ref name="geschichte" />

== History ==
The Peichinger Bauerntheater was founded in 1965 by Adolf Pest of Oberpeiching together with Manfred Arloth, teacher and head of the village's one-class primary school. From then on, rural comedies were performed during [[wikipedia:Lent|Lent]] in the hall of the former Wintermayr inn.<ref name="geschichte" /> When it became clear around 1980 that the hall would no longer be available, the school, closed in 1969, was converted in 1986 into a ''Haus der Vereine'' (house of associations) with the support of the town of Rain, of which Oberpeiching had been part since 1972, and thousands of hours of volunteer work; the theatre was inaugurated in 1987.<ref name="geschichte" /> For the association's 50th anniversary in 2015 the building was thoroughly renovated and extended with a separate entrance and foyer for theatregoers, again with funding from the town and volunteer work by members.<ref name="geschichte" /> In 2010 the association began a series of guest performances by cabaret artists and musicians such as Hans Well and Keller Steff.<ref name="home" />

== Repertoire ==
The association stages one rural comedy a year in the Bavarian dialect, with five performances. It also produces occasional children's plays, and its guest programme had reached 80 events by 2026.<ref name="geschichte" /><ref name="chronik" />
