history
In 1963, at the suggestion of Otto Kroneder , theater was played for the first time on the square in front of the parish church in Stockerau , namely the drama Gajus Gracchus by the Stockerau poet Bruno Kühnl (1897–1961).
From 1964 to 1970 Kroneder († 1970 in an accident) initiated seven further productions. Jürgen Wilke then took over the management of the Stockerau Festival for 27 years, which at that time played Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw , among others .
From 1998 to 2012 Alfons Haider took over the management of the festival and played musicals there for the first time .
From 2013 Zeno Stanek worked as director of the festival and since then there have been performances again.
In October 2018 Christian Spatzek was appointed director of the Stockerau Festival.
The performance planned for 2020 has been postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic .
The festival is part of the Lower Austria Theater Festival .
