Admission is free, and the doors open an hour before the event begins.

When theater becomes a conversation
The appeal of this format lies in its openness: sometimes artists or staff from the Staatstheater are on the podium, at other times personalities from Cottbus or Brandenburg. This transforms the theater barn into a space where stories, working methods, and artistic perspectives are not only told but also experienced in direct dialogue. This is precisely where the special theater atmosphere of this format lies.

The theater barn as an approachable venue
The venue in Ströbitz lends the evening its own intimacy. The Staatstheater Cottbus is one of the most significant stages in the region and besides the main house, also performs in the theater barn as an independent venue for special formats and events. For visitors, this means a cultural stage experience in a relaxed environment, with immediate closeness to the people behind the theater.
