'''Volksbühne Übersee-Feldwies e. V.''', locally known as the ''Theaterverein'', is an amateur theatre group in [[wikipedia:Übersee|Übersee]] near the [[wikipedia:Chiemsee|Chiemsee]], [[wikipedia:Traunstein (district)|district of Traunstein]], Bavaria, Germany. It was founded in 1910 and plays a comedy each summer season in the hall of the Wirtshaus D'Feldwies in the village of Feldwies.<ref name="home" /><ref name="chronik" /><ref name="infos" />

== 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.<ref name="chronik" />

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.<ref name="chronik" />

There were no performances during the [[wikipedia:COVID-19 pandemic in Germany|COVID-19 pandemic]] in 2020 and 2021.<ref name="jhv2021" /><ref name="archiv" />

== Productions ==
The main production runs in summer, with performances on Sunday and Friday evenings; tickets are sold through the Übersee tourist information office.<ref name="infos" /><ref name="p2026" /> A children's and youth group grew out of a project of the local holiday programme in 2005 and has been expanded since 2015.<ref name="jugend" />
