Schauspiel Köln

SCHAUSPIEL KÖLN / COLOGNE THEATRE is part of the Cologne Municipal Theatre, which contains - besides the autonomous Schauspiel Köln - also the Cologne Opera and the Cologne Dance Company. Schauspiel Köln hosts the largest stage for drama in town, the Schauspielhaus with 833 seats. Above that there are three more venues: The “Schlosserei” with 110 seats, the “Halle Kalk”, an old industrial hall, with 160 seats and the “Erfrischungsraum”, a combination of café and venue, with 50-80 seats. The theatre hosts an own company, a permanent ensemble of round about 25 actors. Since 2007/08 Karin Beier is the new artistic director. Schauspiel Köln shows 14-16 new productions per season. The theatre plays in a repertoire-system, only single productions e.g. in the Halle Kalk are being played ensuite.
