The Freudenberg open-air stage offers a varied program: local plays, comedies, dramas and children's plays. The stage, idyllically situated in the forest, is 40 meters wide and the grandstand with around 800 seats is fully covered. There are two fully electronically controlled revolving stages and a state-of-the-art sound system. And in cold weather, warming cushions can be borrowed.
Around 100 citizens of Freudenberg and the surrounding communities between the ages of 5 and 80 are active on the volunteer-run stage!
At the beginning of winter, the open-air stage is already preparing for next year's season. The actual performances then start at the beginning of June and the final curtain falls on the first weekend in September. In between, there are around 60 performances in 3 months. This means that on some days there are performances both in the morning and in the afternoon. We take a 3-week break in July so that school-age children can also go on their annual vacation.
Child-friendly rating
In August 1997, the Freilichtbühne Freudenberg was awarded the 'child-friendly' rating by the youth welfare offices of the Siegen-Wittgenstein district and the city of Siegen for its many years of outstanding cultural work with children.
