The '''StattTheater Bad Salzuflen e. V.''' is an amateur theatre group in [[wikipedia:Bad Salzuflen|Bad Salzuflen]] in the [[wikipedia:Lippe (district)|Lippe district]], [[wikipedia:North Rhine-Westphalia|North Rhine-Westphalia]], Germany. It grew out of an adult-education theatre course in 1985, became an association in 1988 and performs in the ''Gelbe Schule'' cultural centre, which it runs together with the town.<ref name="home" />

== History ==
The group began in 1985 with a course called ''Wir spielen Theater'' at the local [[wikipedia:Volkshochschule|Volkshochschule]]. After a second course the participants wanted to work on theatre more intensively, and in April 1988 they founded the association ''StattTheater''. They first performed at Haus Schuseil, an open cultural and youth centre of the town of Bad Salzuflen, and since 1994 have played at the ''Gelbe Schule''. The group celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2026 with Stefan Eckel's comedy ''Außer Rand und Band''.<ref name="home" />

The ensemble emphasises collective work: productions are developed by the whole group, at least one play is staged each year, and the group avoids committing itself to a single genre.<ref name="home" />

== Repertoire ==
At the Lippe amateur theatre festival the group won the ''Gläserner Hermann'' award in 2008 with ''Die Dame von Dingsville'' and in 2009 with ''Efeu und die Dicke''.<ref name="home" />
