The student ensemble (StudiE) at the Gerhart Hauptmann Theater Görlitz-Zittau offers a unique opportunity to leave everyday life behind and recharge your batteries. It is a place where you can try things out and develop creatively in a protected environment. The ensemble once again invites you to take part in a new production - whether on or behind the stage.

The amateur dramatics group consists mainly of students and is led by founding member Janika Stelley, who is currently studying childhood education at the HSZG.

After three successful productions under the direction of Eike Zastrow, the group reunited last year.

In the comedy "Hin und Her", freely adapted from Ödön von Horvárth, the students dealt with the question of the meaning of boundaries and how they determine the fate of individuals.

Acting exercises, workshops and collaboration with other play groups - the repertoire is diverse! At the moment, the idea of developing a play of our own is in the air, in which the ideas of the participants are in demand. They will decide together what will go on stage. From text work, planning and organization to the design of stage sets and costumes, everything is involved. This involves a lot of trial and error, overcoming challenges together and having a lot of fun as a group.

On Thursday, October 17, there will be an information event followed by a rehearsal. This will give interested parties an insight into past productions and the rehearsal process. The event is relaxed and non-binding.

As usual, it will take place in the group's rehearsal room at the Obermühle. For those of you who do not want to go alone, there is also a common meeting point in front of the Mensa Görlitz. We will start from there at 17:45 so that we can start the rehearsal time punctually at 18:00, as we do every Thursday.

We look forward to seeing you!
