Theater in der Filmdose, Private theater in Neustadt-Süd, Germany.

Theater in der Filmdose is a private theater located within a dining establishment on Zülpicher Street in Cologne's university district. The space combines stage performances with food and beverage service in the same room.

The venue was founded in 1984 and takes its name from the Filmdose, which director Walter Bockmayer established in 1975 at the corner of Kyffhäuserstraße. This naming choice connects two stages of cultural development at the location.

The venue is a private theatre inside the Filmdose pub, founded in 1984; its productions are German-language parodies with punning titles such as "Sissi – Beuteljahre einer Kaiserin" and "Teitänic – die tun nix – die wollen nur cruisen!". Early casts included Ralph Morgenstern, Hella von Sinnen and Dirk Bach, and the pub was later taken over by ensemble member Alexander Moll.

The theater sits inside the Gaststätte Filmdose in the Universitätsviertel, on Zülpicher Straße at the corner of Kyffhäuserstraße. Tram and U-Bahn stops of the university district lie nearby, and the venue is reached on foot from the surrounding streets.

The stage has hosted a long line of parody titles, from "Sissi – Beuteljahre einer Kaiserin" (1989–1990) to "Teitänic – die tun nix – die wollen nur cruisen!" (2018–2020). Cast members over the years included Ralph Morgenstern, Hella von Sinnen and Dirk Bach.
