The '''Dramatischer Verein Niederwerrn 1952 e. V.''' (DVN) is an amateur theatre club in [[wikipedia:Niederwerrn|Niederwerrn]] near [[wikipedia:Schweinfurt|Schweinfurt]], [[wikipedia:Lower Franconia|Lower Franconia]], Bavaria, Germany. Its adult ensemble performs boulevard comedies in spring and autumn in the Niederwerrn community centre (''Gemeindezentrum''); the club also has a children's and youth group and a young adults' ensemble called ''Rampenlichter''.<ref name="ueber" />

== History ==
The club has its roots in the local fruit and horticultural society (''Obst- und Gartenbauverein''), some of whose members formed a theatre group in autumn 1949. Encouraged by its early success, the initiator and director Ludwig Schramm and others founded the ''Dramatischer Verein Niederwerrn 1952 e. V.'' in 1952. In 1963 the club joined the ''Volksspielkunstverband Bayern'' (today the [[Verband Bayerischer Amateurtheater e. V.]]) and the [[Bund Deutscher Amateurtheater (BDAT)]], whose courses and seminars its members regularly attend. Since 2007 the older members of the youth group have performed as the ''Rampenlichter''.<ref name="ueber" /> In December 2025 the club honoured members for 40 and 60 years of membership.<ref name="home" />

== Repertoire ==
The adult players stage a boulevard comedy each spring and each autumn, with five performances apiece, and also appear at carnival events and private or company parties with shows and sketches. The children's and youth group performs fairy tales, musicals and comedies on one weekend a year and short Christmas pieces in Advent.<ref name="ueber" /> The club also tours to venues outside Niederwerrn, where it says its Franconian-dialect performances are well received.<ref name="tournee" />

The club's archive of adult productions, mostly undated, includes ''Rambazamba am Lido Makkaroni'' and ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Häusle mit Herz'' (1990), ''Man kann alles übertreiben'' (1991), ''Der nackte Wahnsinn'' (1992), ''Das Haus in Montevideo'' (1993, revived later), ''Charleys Tante'', ''Boeing Boeing'', ''Leberkäs und rote Strapse'', ''Der Meisterboxer'', ''Ladysitter'' and, most recently, ''Eine ganz heiße Nummer'', as well as a series of crime dinner-theatre evenings (''Krimi Theater'') such as ''Tödliche Weinprobe'', ''Vino Mortis'' and ''Mord im Café Hüftgold''.<ref name="aktive" />
