Volkstheater Frankfurt, Folk theatre in Frankfurt, Germany
The Volkstheater Frankfurt performs dialectal plays in Frankfurterisch, classical entertainment pieces, contemporary dramas, and rediscovered stage literature at its venue near Goethe House.
Founded in 1971 by Liesel Christ, the theater staged over 10,000 performances and attracted more than 3.5 million attendees during its first 40 years of operation.
The theater presents traditional folk plays, including Ernst Nebhut's musical 'Zur scheene Fraa' and adaptations of works by Frankfurt poet Friedrich Stoltze.
With approximately 250 performances annually, the theater continues its programming in the restored Cantatesaal, which now serves as the venue for the Fliegenden Volksbühne.
Summer performances took place in the Dominican Monastery courtyard and in front of Frankfurt Cathedral, featuring productions like 'Urfaust' and 'Der hessische Jedermann'.
