Theaterteam Helena is an amateur theatre group of the Catholic parish of St. Helena in Obergiesing, Munich, Germany. Formed in 1988 by members of the parish youth, it stages one play each autumn, mostly English-language comedies and crime plays, several of them as German-language premieres.[1][2]
History
The group grew out of theatre enthusiasts in the parish youth of St. Helena, who came together in 1988 and staged Der schwarze Koffer. Since then it has presented a new play every year. Each production was initially performed three times; because of growing audiences this rose to four performances in 1995, five in 2001 and six from 2002.[1]
The 2026 season was cancelled after a fire broke out in the roof of St. Helena's church on the Feast of the Assumption; while the church is repaired, services are held in the parish hall, which is therefore not available for the group.[3]
Repertoire
The group chooses "interesting, unusual" plays, with emphasis on sets, costumes and props.[1] Its repertoire consists largely of British and American comedies and thrillers; for example, in 2010 it gave the German-language premiere of Fred Carmichael's spy comedy Inkognito.[2]
