History
According to the regional newspaper Die Rheinpfalz, the theatre formed in 2005 as one of several sub-groups of the association Lebendiges Niederkirchen (abbreviated Leni). The group works without a director: the choice of text, the stage design and the costumes are decided jointly by the participants.[3]
Repertoire
The group rehearses a new production every spring and has staged comedies in recent years.[2] Plays written in standard German have been performed largely in the Palatine dialect; for Es fährt kein Zug nach Irgendwo (2026) the cast transferred the text into Palatine German and added regional allusions.[4][2]
