== History ==
In 1966 the association staged the Christmas play ''Heimatglocken am Weihnachtsabend''; from the 1970s its repertoire was dominated by farces such as [[wikipedia:Marc Camoletti|Marc Camoletti]]'s ''[[wikipedia:Boeing-Boeing (play)|Boeing-Boeing]]'' (1975).<ref name="harlekin" /> The children's and youth group has staged its own productions since 1996, and since 2007 it has also performed a sketch before each of the adult productions. In 2016 the Harlekids staged ''Prinz Karl in geheimer Mission'' for a stage anniversary. In 2012, 2014 and 2021 both groups performed the sketch evening ''Harlekin shorty's'' together.<ref name="harlekids" />
