Life

Bayer had engagements in Hamburg as an actor and director . From 1985 to 1991 he was artistic director at the Stadttheater Lüneburg and then at the Theater am Olof-Palme-Platz in Stralsund . The short season of the Lüneburg Theater from the early years of nine months a year became increasingly a problem, as the ensemble members had to be sent into unemployment every year. It was only when Thomas Bayer became the artistic director that the 1986 season could be extended to ten months, and in 1989 to eleven months. Thanks to the Lüneburg Theater Summer Festival, founded in 1988 (venue: Klosterhof at the Ratsbücherei), the drama ensemble was able to work all year round for the first time.

In 1994 he took over the management of the Hamburg Ohnsorg Theater from Walter Ruppel .

He wanted to completely redesign the theater. First he dismissed the dramaturges Hartmut Cyriacks and Peter Nissen . He also intended to completely change the house's program (for example with a musical and children's choir ). After this did not meet with approval from either the audience or the actors, he canceled his contract the following year. Christian Seeler succeeded him .
