The New Stage Senftenberg was founded on October 21, 1946 as the Senftenberg City Theater in the auditorium / gym of the Walther Rathenau School in Senftenberg , Brandenburg . At this place - converted into a theater - there is still play today. The opening premiere was a colorful evening with excerpts from operettas, operas, texts by Joachim Ringelnatz and Ernst Wildenbruch . The first operetta performance ( The Land of Smiles by Franz Lehár ) by the then three-part theater took place on October 27, 1946 in the Senftenberg Society House . The first drama production ( Kabale und Liebe by Friedrich Schiller ) followed on October 9, 1947, and the first opera ( Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber ) was performed in 1948. In 1959 the theater was renamed the Miners' Theater .
In the following years, in addition to classics from Shakespeare to Brecht , modern authors from the GDR such as Heiner Müller , Peter Hacks , Fred Wander and Volker Braun were also performed. Well-known personalities who worked at the Miners' Theater included Annekathrin Bürger , Rolf Römer , Kaspar Eichel , Alfred Müller , Günter Schubert , Hans-Peter Reinecke , Hildegard Alex , Ulrich Thein , Armin Mueller-Stahl , Frank Castorf , Michael Thalheimer and BK Tragelehn .
After its own ballet ensemble existed until the end of the 1970s and the theater was also used for a symphony orchestra, the theater, called “Neue Bühne Senftenberg” since 1990, has been a single-part theater in the field of drama since 1993.
In 2005 the theater was voted Theater of the Year by the renowned magazine Theater heute together with the Deutsches Theater Berlin , the Münchner Kammerspiele and the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg .
Since September 2017, the new Senftenberg stage has also been active as a state theater and plays in the southern Brandenburg area.
