Junges Theater Heidelberg

The Junges Theater Heidelberg shows at least four new productions each year intended for an audience of three years and above. Productions take place on their own stage Zwinger 3, while the winter play, a Christmas piece, is shown at Alter Saal and the summer play is an open-air production at the castle, the Heidelberger Schloss. The Junges Theater Heidelberg is an active theatre with low hierarchies that likes to experiment with new forms of theatre and stages challenging stories for young people.
