Laboratories & Workshops

We offer you various labs and workshops in which you can playfully try yourself out on and behind the stage. While the workshops offer you the opportunity to get a taste of different areas of theater work, in the labs we work together to create a play that will be performed in front of an audience. The rehearsals of the labs take place at least once a week and include intensive rehearsal blocks. Participation is free of charge.

Labor I

Laboratory I has started a new production!

The group is working together to develop their own play – from the initial ideas to the finished scene. The focus is on topics that are currently important to the actors themselves, who are aged between 13 and 17: friendship, pressure, the future, identity, anger, hope. Everything that matters will be brought to the stage. We try things out, discuss, write, discard and start again.
More information will follow here.

Lab III

FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley


Victor Frankenstein wants to create. Happy beings made of dead matter who see him as their creator, eternally indebted to him for their existence. What a world it would be if death had been overcome! A good one for Frankenstein. It hits him like a bolt of lightning - he finds the way to create a human being. After delusional research, a patched-up creature comes to life and wants to be loved. Frankenstein shirks this responsibility. The creature survives the icy cold, loneliness and returns. When Frankenstein refuses to create a companion for him, a series of murders begins in Frankenstein's surroundings. The scientist feels guilty and decides to destroy his work.

Mary Shelley describes the possible effects of research that plays God in an intense story about the researcher Frankenstein, his closest friends and the "monster".

The Junges Theater an der Ruhr Labor III performs excerpts at a time when the creation of eternal life is being considered in concrete terms in Silicon Valley.
