history

Wichmann, mechanical engineer with a state examination in philosophy, sees the commitment of his then street theater troupe to the city cleaning service of West Berlin in 1985 as the initial spark for the establishment of the theater, whereby the city cleaning department intended to show the employees how to deal politely with passers-by. The first stage program of the newly founded theater in Hamburg was Nepal by Urs Widmer . In 1989 the company moved to its first own theater space and in 1997 the focus on corporate theater . In 2007, the theater achieved 300 performances within one year.

The theater has (as of 2015) 15 permanent employees and over 40 freelancers and produces an average of 150 company theater projects per year. Matthias Simon, head of workshops and training at the Scharlatan Theater, describes it as the oldest and largest corporate theater in Germany. The theater has (as of 2020) 17 permanent employees. A team of consultants, creatives and trainers offer a holistic concept for organizational and employee development. The Academy of the Scharlatan Theater is becoming an important provider of theater-based seminars and workshops for managers, employees and people who want to promote themselves. The method of turning soft skills into value skills is gaining increasing acceptance in companies and organizations.
