Live, Up Close and Open Air
Peasant Theatre Partenkirchen (only in German)
The curtain opens on one of the oldest amateur theatre groups in Bavaria: The “Bauerntheater Partenkirchen” has been inspiring guests and locals for 115 years with plays such as “The Village Pastor” or “Clever Urschl”. Now, just as in the past, the amateur actors never fail to leave the audience tickled pick with their Bavarian charm and humour.
Little Theater (only in German)
Fritz Rohrbeck, director and founder of the Kleines Theater, felt drawn to the stage ever since he was a boy. After discovering the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen he decided to start a theatre here, and thus the “Little Theatre” was born. The theatre is now in its 3rd generation; its productions regularly delight audiences with their care and attention to detail.
