Theater Mummpitz

Theater Mummpitz is an independent theater for young audiences, presenting original plays for people of all ages. Our plays are often adaptations of well-known children's books, but also original creations. The themes we explore are diverse: finding one's own path and showing courage, solving problems, searching for one's deepest desires, or explaining current political developments – through puppet theater. Sometimes fun and wacky, sometimes poetic and thought-provoking, but always featuring plenty of live music, our small ensemble performs in our own theater in Nuremberg. All our plays also tour nationally and internationally. In addition, we offer acting classes and theater education workshops for school classes or groups on various topics. Every two years, we organize the panoptikum theater festival, for which fascinating and groundbreaking productions for young audiences from across Europe and Bavaria are selected and invited.
