Kleines Theater
Attention to detail, lots of passion and a medical dose of humour – these are the ingredients that make the performances of the ”Kleines Theater” in Garmisch-Partenkirchen so popular.

Partenkirchen Peasant Theatre
Have you ever heard of classic comedies such as “Der Dorfpfarrer“ (“The Village Priest”) or “Die pfiffige Urschl“ (“The Cunning Urschl”)? No? Then it’s about time to catch one of the legendary performances that have been staged at the “Partenkirchener Bauerntheater” (“Partenkirchen Peasant Theater”) for more than 115 years! The amateur actors’ unrivalled charm will have you laughing out loud at this authentic, traditional and typically Bavarian venue!
A real highlight: Watch the local Schuhplattler dancers show off their skills before the performance and enjoy traditional guitar and “Ziach” (accordion) music during the break. A must-see not only for the locals!
