In the organizer's words:

[English below]

Every Thursday the foyer and theater café is open for children and families to play, do handicrafts, meet in several languages and exchange ideas.
In addition, a special program awaits you every week, specially prepared by staff, actors or TDJW friends!

Starting with the weekly invitation to the meeting café for Ukrainian families, PLAY & CONNECT has established itself as an open, international meeting place for all generations in recent seasons. On this afternoon, we open our doors to the entire city community and aim to turn the TDJW into a meeting place that is also open outside of performances. This is where big meets small, language meets language, ensemble meets audience! Whether you come alone, with your whole circle of friends or your favorite relatives, whether you want to stay for a long time or just drop by - we welcome you!

Starting with the weekly invitation to the meeting café for Ukrainian families, PLAY & CONNECT has established itself in recent seasons. Now we are opening the doors to the entire city community and would like to make the TDJW a meeting place that is also open outside of the performances. Here, old meets young, artists meet audience.

With craft tables, children's disco or artistic input from our artists, we invite you to hang out, chat and play in our foyer. We are looking forward to your visit, because even without a performance, our gathering can become the greatest spectacle! Whether you come alone, with your entire circle of friends or your favorite relatives, whether you want to stay for a long time or just stop by - we warmly welcome you!
