Since 1990, a classical comedy has been shown every year in July in the amphitheater of the English Garden with free admission.
In 2001, the listed Remise of the Mohr Villa in Freimann was converted into a theater with the funds of the foundation . Since then, the July performances of the summer theater have taken place there when it rains. The playing time could be extended to the last two September weekends.

Since 2008, the actors have performed guest performances throughout Germany.
