Alarm theater

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The alarm theater ( proper spelling : AlarmTheater) is a free theater with its own venue in the East Westphalian city ​​of Bielefeld . It was founded in 1993 by the directors and actors Dietlind Budde and Harald Otto Schmid, who still run the theater to this day. It is located in the listed CVJM -Heim, built in 1913, at Gustav-Adolf-Strasse 17 in the west of Bielefeld and has two halls.

The theater is run by a registered association and funded by the cultural office of the city of Bielefeld and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. According to its own information, the theater covers 75 percent of its costs through project funding.

Productions and projects

Every year the alarm theater develops three to four productions for young people and adults. In addition, the theater carries out projects in cooperation with schools , addiction and prevention centers , integration associations, museums , refugee housing groups, the girls' club and other institutions. Dietlind Budde and Harald Otto Schmid regularly produce plays with former drug addicts, prisoners, senior citizens and young refugees. Dietlind Budde describes these projects as a “bridge between socioculture and art”. The youth theater group “Junge Bühne” has existed in the Alarmtheater since 2003. In the summer of 2013, the first “OWL Theater Youth Club Meeting” with 50 young actors took place in the AlarmTheater.
