Frankfurter Autoren Theater, Theater stage in Hausen district, Frankfurt, Germany

Frankfurter Autoren Theater is a stage within the Brotfabrik cultural center in Frankfurt's Hausen neighborhood, focused on original productions and adapted works. The performance space is compact and intimate, designed to bring artists and audiences closer together.

The Frankfurter Autoren Theater has been led by Adrian Scherschel and Michaela Conrad since 2014. It performs in the Kulturzentrum Brotfabrik in the Hausen district and has specialised in staging works by Frankfurt authors, including lesser-known ones. Its annual FRANKFURTER AUTOREN MARKT competition has brought guest productions such as "Lügentheater" by Pete Smith (premiere 2016) and "Hikikomori" by AlphaZTL Compagnia d'Arte Dinamica (2024) to the stage.

The venue works closely with local writers, giving them a stage for their work and ideas. You can watch how new plays develop and experience direct connections between creators and audiences.

The venue sits at Bachmannstraße 2-4 in the Hausen district and is easily reached by public transportation. After performances, bread and wine are offered, making it simple to chat with actors and directors.

The venue runs an annual writing competition where scripts from regional authors are selected and staged throughout the season. Winning entries receive full productions and are performed in front of live audiences.
