In the location's words:

The Schauspielhaus Magdeburg in Otto-von-Guericke-Straße is the stage for modern drama and part of the Magdeburg Theater. Modernized in 2005, the venue, a former classical villa, offers a varied repertoire ranging from classics to contemporary drama. Matinees, audience discussions and special formats such as readings and panel discussions make the Schauspielhaus a lively place for theater and exchange.
