Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz

At the beginning of 2000 the directors Sasha Waltz and Thomas Ostermeier and the dramaturgs Jochen Sandig and Jens Hillje took over the artistic direction of the Schaubühne. The new directors are harking back to the theatre’s founding tradition as a venue for international contemporary theatre with a permanent ensemble at the heart of the concept. But the team is also providing scope for new theatrical forms by bringing in young playwrights and choreographers and combining dance and drama in a way that dissolves the borders between these two genres.

Schlosspark-Theater

Attractive small theatre which often staged first runs or premiere productions of German versions of plays. Always good for a nice night out.
