About
Vorstadttheater Basel stages professional, contemporary theater for children and adults together, inside the Gemeindehaus Oekolampad. Its own ensemble makes one or two new plays a year and runs each for about two months.
Between those runs, touring guest companies take the stage, from puppet and storytelling shows for preschoolers to plays for older kids that take on big themes like growing up and growing old.
