History
The group's record of productions begins with the 2005/06 season. Several of its plays were written and directed by members, among them Joe Henselewski, Matthias Hahn, Constantin Kilian and Carsten Steuwer.[2] The 2019/20 season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons were cancelled.[2] In 2023 the premiere of Einmal Toskana und zurück played to an almost sold-out cellar of about 75 spectators.[3]
Repertoire
The repertoire consists of comedies, boulevard plays, crime comedies and occasional sketch programmes and children's plays.[2]
