In the location's words:

Since moving into the Schauburg on Elisabethplatz in 1977, the Theater der Landeshauptstadt München has been one of the largest and most renowned theaters for young audiences in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Under the direction of Andrea Gronemeyer, the theater is an open performing arts venue for young and young-at-heart audiences. The audience can grow up with theater at the Schauburg, because the ensemble performs plays for the very youngest from 3 months and specifies its offerings according to age up to adulthood. The repertoire is characterized above all by new plays by contemporary authors that have been specially developed for young audiences, including new interpretations of world literature as well as plays that address topics from the concrete world of the young audience or burning social issues. In addition to drama, the Schauburg also offers dance, music and puppet theater as well as cross-border forms of theater. With mobile productions for classrooms and kindergartens, the Schauburg ensemble seeks contact with children and young people from districts far removed from the theater and the everyday worlds of its audience. With its digital education program, the Schauburg invites its audience to deepen their (analog) theater experiences (also later and from anywhere) and/or to playfully experience theater as an everyday companion.

In the Schauburg LAB, we research and make art together. Age, prior knowledge or ability play no role here. It's more about coming together. We discover new things together and turn them into theater. Anyone can play theater with us. We do dance here. We build stage sets, masks or sew costumes with you, for example. We make music together and try out lighting and sound technology. All ideas and people are welcome.

The Schauburg is networked worldwide and incorporates these experiences from intercultural exchange into the program and participatory projects. The awareness of playing for an audience with roots in many cultures is the driving force behind the Schauburg's vision of establishing itself as a place for finding cultural identity in a diverse society.

There is also a café in the Schauburg Labor. Here you can enjoy freshly prepared food and drink. But the café is not just for eating and drinking. It is a space that brings together community, enjoyment and theater. Whether for learning, relaxing or meeting - the café is open to everyone. No one has to order anything here. You can just be here.

Treff.Burg
The online venue Treff.Burg offers people who find it more difficult to come to Schwabing or Ramersdorf the opportunity to attend Schauburg events from home. The repertoire here includes productions that have been specially developed for the online space. Here, children and young people can meet actors or other members of staff, talk to others about performances they have seen or make plans for their own activities. The possibilities offered by Treff.Burg allow for encounters in surprising dimensions.
