The Galli Theater, with locations in Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, is a fairly cozy, hands-on community theatre known for its wonderful fairytale plays for children — performed in German, English and Spanish — in addition to its comedy productions for adults. The training center at both locations hosts workshops and classes for children and adults, which are aimed to develop and strengthen both personality and character. The Galli Theater Café is the perfect venue for holding events such as children’s birthday parties and corporate gatherings. If you’re looking for a community theater where you or your kids will feel comfortable enough to join in, the Galli Theater will be a good time for all.

Velvets Black & Light Theater, Wiesbaden
If you’re unfamiliar with black (or black light) theater, take advantage of the opportunity to visit the Velvets Theatre in Wiesbaden. Acts in this theater are performed on a black velvet box set in which pantomimes and/or puppets are brought in and out of the spotlight creating illusions and seemingly magical effects, allowing the performance to come to life in ways you may have never experienced before. This is a great theatre for young adults and their parents, but be sure to check the website; some upcoming themes may not be suitable for children.

Wiesbaden English Language Theater
Three Americans who met through the MWR-sponsored Amelia Earhart Playhouse — Keith D. Greenleaf, Stacey Groves and Roy Mroch — wanted to bring an independent, English language theater to Wiesbaden. So, they founded the Wiesbaden English Language Theater (WELT). If you’re 17 or older and want to be a part of the act, the WELT is always seeking volunteers for actors, backstage crew and house management. Most shows deal with adult themes and are not suitable for children audiences.
