Theater Fifty-Fifty, Private theater in Erlangen, Germany
Theater Fifty-Fifty is a private theater in Erlangen housed in a converted warehouse building next to the city's southern wall. The venue presents between 150 and 200 shows each year, including cabaret, concerts, author readings, and comedy performances.
The theater was founded in 1989 as a small venue with 50 seats in a former railway warehouse. As demand grew, the space expanded and became an established cultural destination in Erlangen.
The venue hosts cabaret, music performances, and readings that shape the cultural life of the city. Visitors experience regional and national artists in an intimate setting that reflects the artistic diversity of the community.
The theater sits next to the historic city walls and is easily accessible from downtown. When shows are in high demand, some events move to larger venues around the city, so planning ahead is helpful.
The original capacity of just 50 seats shows how this cultural project grew organically from a private initiative. The space kept its intimate character even as it became a major cultural outlet for the city.
