Waldviertler Hoftheater, Regional theater in Schrems, Austria
Waldviertler Hoftheater occupies a renovated mayor's residence and seats about 178 people in its main hall. The space also includes a theater café and a champagne bar where visitors can spend time before or after shows.
The building dates from 1886 when it served as the mayor's official residence. Since 1986 a theater has used this space as a venue, becoming a cultural presence in Austria's northernmost area.
The theater stages classical dramas and contemporary works that rotate with Austrian cabaret acts and musical performances. This mix shows what audiences in this rural region come to see and enjoy.
The theater is located at Pürbach 14 and you can visit the office or call 02853-78469 for information and tickets. Planning your visit ahead makes sense since the program changes with the seasons and not all shows run at the same time.
The theater runs the Wald4tler OFFtheater program which brings experimental performances alongside traditional works. This approach shows how a small rural venue can mix contemporary art ideas with classic theatrical forms.
