Enthusiasm everywhere Although we are very proud to be able to perform theater in such an iconic building, it is not just about this beautiful stone setting. Our team makes The Playhouse! With a small group of people, we welcome more than 160 artists and companies every year, we regularly organize events with and for business clients and we enable ten local initiatives that keep the city alive and our region moving. This is how we shape our future every day. We believe that all progress depends on creativity.
