history
In 1750 Gotthold Ephraim Lessing founded Germany's first theater magazine together with Mylius in Berlin. It was entitled Contributions to the history and recording of the theater and among other things, fashion issues of drama were discussed in it. But it did not have a longer lifespan. In Hamburg he brought the Hamburg Dramaturgy onto the market in 1767. In 1784 the actor Johann Karl Sauerwald published Russia's first theater magazine in German in Saint Petersburg under the name Russische Theatralien , but only three editions were made.
The first theater magazine that is aimed at young people and has a circulation of 70,000 is the Junge Bühne, founded in September 2007 . This free, once-a-year magazine is edited by the theater magazine Die Deutsche Bühne .

- House viewing

Furthermore, there are often insights into the dance , performance and opera world .
