!!!Theater der Jugend

Theater der Jugend, established in 1932 by theatre-loving teachers and 
stage professionals and reorganised after 1945. The largest 
organisation for children´s and young people´s theatre, 
with 50,000 season-ticket holders (1999) of all age groups, Theater 
der Jugend arranges for school-children and young people to attend 
theatre performances and concerts in Vienna at reduced prices and also 
produces about 9 of its own productions each year (avant-garde plays, 
fairy tale adaptations, dance performances, plays with audience 
participation, rock ´n ´roll-theatre, pantomimes, jazz 
musicals). Standing venues are the Renaissancetheater and the Theater 
im Zentrum; from time to time other Vienna stages are also used. In 
addition to the stage productions, which are often commissioned works 
by Austrian authors, theatre-related educational activities are also 
offered, to which educational advisors also contribute. Emphasis is 
placed on theatrical innovation as well as on commitment to addressing 
contemporary age-group-specific problems.
