In the location's words:

The Consol Theater is part of the "kultur.gebiet CONSOL" on the former Consolidation colliery site in Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck. Since its opening in 2001, the theater has developed into a lively theater with a great responsibility for cultural education and the social interaction of people of different age groups and backgrounds.

The Consol Theater's often award-winning productions deal specifically with the realities of life for the mostly young audience. Each season, the theater develops around three new productions for different age groups. The plays are not only performed in the theater's repertoire, but also go on tour at home and abroad.

Making theater not only for the citizens of Gelsenkirchen but also with them is the central idea of the Volxbühne at the Consol Theater. Buzzwords such as participation and self-empowerment are put into practice with artistic projects at the Consol Theater. Amateurs from all over the region always work together with professional directors, theater educators and musicians. More than 120 active people aged between 6 and 92 regularly perform on stage at the Consol Theater, singing, reading and dancing together and creating their own world in projects and courses, some of which are intergenerational.

In numerous (socio-)educational projects, such as the annual language camp or the 10-month vocational qualification program !STAGE, young people are given new perspectives for their own lives through theater. Since 2001, more than 140 young people have found guidance for their future lives between school and work through theater.

In addition, the Consol Theater has become a second home for many Gelsenkirchen institutions from the music school to the jazz initiative.In addition to the main stage with a maximum of 180 seats, the Consol Theater has a small stage, a rehearsal room and the atmospheric cellar bar with seating for up to 100 people.
