Theater am Gleis

Follow organizer

The Theater am Gleis in Winterthur is perhaps the smallest four-discipline theatre in Switzerland and has been offering exciting, current and lively cultural productions beyond the mainstream in the areas of theatre, dance, music and children's/youth theatre for over 40 years.

In all disciplines, various house groups develop their productions directly in the house and independent groups fill the repertoire with numerous guest performances. Around 120 performances are staged each season. On free performance days, the premises can be rented.

The Theater am Gleis is organised as an association; the programming and performance supervision is ensured by a large number of volunteer theatre, dance and music enthusiasts.
