Theater week Korbach

Theater week Korbach

The Korbach Theater Week is the oldest amateur play festival still in existence in Germany and has been organized by the Waldeck-Frankenberg district in the Hanseatic and district town of Korbach every May since 1949 - bringing together young actors from all over Germany.

The festival is supported by the Förderverein Theaterwoche Korbach, which actively works to preserve the traditional event - also financially, because it has an enormous influence on the school and amateur theater scene in Germany.
