Dear teachers and friends,
welcome back to a new school year! We have a few performances planned (check out our program) and are organising a few more. To stay up to date sign up to our newsletter here: mail@platypus-theater.de
Hope to see you soon!
After the summer holidays, schools will no longer be obliged to observe the rules about social distancing. Hence, there are two options for viewing a Platypus Theater play: A school can book a show exclusively for itself – in this case, social distancing wouldn’t be necessary in the theater. If you are interested in booking a show for 100+ pupils, please get in touch with our office (mail@platypus-theater.de). We will organise the venue (BKA-Theater is still our main venue, but others are possible).
We are very happy to announce that „Safestay Hostel“ has been nominated for the Ikarus Prize (Berlin Children's Theater Prize). We hope that we will be able to perform the show in November in time for the award ceremony.
The uncertainty of when and how we are allowed to perform again is very hard to endure. Unfortunately, it looks like children's and youth theater is not only hit hard by the crisis, but will also be affected by it for a long time.
Thanks for your supportive emails and your donations. We really appreciate them.

What's new in December? Well, our new program for March-June 2020 is out. Some of the shows are already booked out, so get your tickets now.
Also we offer a new workshop scheme:
1. You prepare your students for the upcoming theatre visit using the material which we provide you with.
2. You come along and enjoy the play.
3. One of the actors visits your class soon after the performance and conducts a 4 hour workshop related to the themes of the play. Your students develop short scenes based on their impressions and ideas. The cost is 10€/head, with a minimum of 20 students.
Wishing you all happy holidays and a happy new year!
