Kleine Komödie am Max II, Theater company in Maximilianstrasse, Munich, Germany
The Kleine Komödie am Max II is a theater on Maximilianstrasse, housed in a converted cafe building with about 320 seats in its performance hall. The venue's modest size creates an intimate setting where audiences sit close to the stage.
The venue received its operating license in 1946 from the American military government and opened with a performance featuring Trude Hesterberg. It was one of the first theaters to welcome audiences again in postwar Munich.
The name references its location on Maximilianstrasse, one of the city's most famous boulevards. Audiences find a place where comedies and light dramatic works shape the program and draw people together.
The theater sits near the Lehel U-Bahn station and Isartor S-Bahn station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Parking is available nearby, particularly at the P04 facility near Hofbräuhaus.
The venue staged more American productions than any other theater in Bavaria during its early years under director Gerhard Metzner. This programming reflected how the occupation forces shaped cultural life in the city after 1946.
