Who we are:

The «Theaterwerkstatt» is made up of FGZ – Students from different grades and age groups, who all share a passion for theater. The «Theaterwerkstatt» is not just a drama club, but a family. There is the impertinent younger brother, the annoying little sister, as well as the know-it-all uncle. With such a big family the situation can easily get out of hand. That is why we are at all times supervised by our caring father, the stage director Alfred Bosshardt.

Our goal:

We want to perform «A Midsummer Night’s Dream» by William Shakespeare successfully and in a way worthy of Shakespeare’s memory. But what do we call a successful performance?

For us a production is successful when we manage to present the play so that you not just understand everything, but also enjoy yourself while watching the play.

To realise such successful performances, we have started rehearsing diligently already. Yet a lot more is needed than rehearsals, namely diligence and teamwork, as well as professional assistance. We obtain this professional assistance, from sound- and lighting assistants, likewise from scene- and costume designers.
