Children's Theatre Barn
Schauenburg - Elmshagen. At the estate upon entering the town, there is a converted ‘Children's Theatre Barn'.
A nice, small stage and an audience capacity of 70 for puppet and marionette theatre performances.
Throughout the year, there are regular performances for children and adults. The estate ambience makes you want to spend some time there.
There are additional events during the summer months such as theatre and handicraft courses, fairytale days and theatre and art activities. The programme does not exclusively address children; there are also courses for adults.
