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.
Lab I
A normal school day for class 10c. A class that has long since become accustomed to daily bullying as if it were part of the timetable. They are writing the last math exam of the school year when the school alarm suddenly sounds and shortly afterwards an armed person storms the classroom. What follows is not a rampage. It is a reckoning. A confrontation. Because the stranger knows the class better than they think. And he knows their deepest secrets... “What We Thought We Did” is an intense psychodrama about guilt, courage, community and recognizing one's own responsibility. A play about young people who are forced to question themselves and end up learning more about themselves than they would like. Do you dare to look?
Premiere: Sun, 08.06.25 at 19:30
Direction: Sarah Kranenpoot

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.
Premiere: FR 28.11. Probebühne 1 Ruhrorter Straße 108-110 45478 Mülheim an der Ruhr
Admission: 8 Euro/ 6 Euro
Tickets: Theater an der Ruhr
