'''Theatergruppe Berg e.V. „Lauter Komödianten“''' is an amateur theatre group based in [[wikipedia:Berg, Germersheim|Berg (Pfalz)]] in the [[wikipedia:Germersheim (district)|district of Germersheim]], [[wikipedia:Rhineland-Palatinate|Rhineland-Palatinate]], Germany.<ref name="oldsite2014" /> It grew out of theatre evenings held in the village since the 1950s, became an association in 1995 and stages one [[wikipedia:Comedy|comedy]] a year in the Gemeinschaftshalle in Berg.<ref name="meilensteine" /><ref name="wochenblatt2023" />

== History ==
Individual theatre performances took place in Berg from the 1950s, and over time a regular core of players formed. From 1981 regular theatre evenings were organised under the umbrella of the Kulturring, the association of all local clubs, as part of its annual end-of-year celebration.<ref name="ueberuns" /><ref name="meilensteine" /> On 4 August 1995 ten residents founded the Theatergruppe Berg in the tower room of the Catholic parish church; it was called a "group" to signal that it was open to everyone in the village.<ref name="meilensteine" />

The statutes were amended in 2004 to apply for registration, and in 2005, the group's tenth anniversary year, it was recognised as a non-profit association and entered in the register of associations in Landau. In 2006 and 2007 the group bought its own sound system.<ref name="meilensteine" /> For its 20th anniversary in 2015 the annual play was performed on two evenings for the first time.<ref name="meilensteine" />

The production planned for the 25th anniversary in 2020 was cancelled because of the [[wikipedia:COVID-19 pandemic in Germany|COVID-19 pandemic]], and no plays were staged from 2020 to 2022.<ref name="auffuehrungen" /><ref name="wochenblatt2023" /> The group returned to the stage on 28 and 29 April 2023 with ''Neurosige Zeiten'', drawing more than 400 spectators over the two evenings, a record for the group.<ref name="meilensteine" /><ref name="wochenblatt2023" /> In December 2022 it had 104 members, of whom 34 were active players.<ref name="ueberuns" />

== Repertoire ==
The group concentrates on comedies and farces, including standard German comedies and Bavarian ''Schwänke''; it describes its work as committed to dialect theatre (''Mundarttheater'').<ref name="ueberuns" /><ref name="meilensteine" /> Since 1981 it has usually staged one play a year, and from 2002 to 2019 each production drew between about 220 and 362 spectators.<ref name="auffuehrungen" />
