About Us

What is Entity

Entity Theatre e.V. is a more than 25 year old Munich-based English-speaking nonprofit community-theatre company. It all began back in 1999 when two British ex-pats founded a group called Entity Theatre Workshop. After finding its footing and exploring theatre in the form of workshops and rehearsals, Entity Theatre held its first performance in 2001. In 2008, Entity was registered as an official “Verein”.
We are a volunteer-driven organization with an eclectic and diverse group of members from across the globe, united in their inherent passion for theatre. We welcome everyone who enjoys going to the theatre as well as those who are interested in acting, directing or helping behind the scenes, regardless of origin, background or inclination.
We create work across the entire band-width of theatrical possibilities, ranging from standard play productions to experimental ventures. Beyond this we offer a number of events to build and enhance the Entity community feeling.

Productions

Entity produces shows all year round. Our plays cover a wide range of genres from contemporary comedy and drama, to Shakespeare and panto. Each show usually runs for two weeks, with eight to ten performances. We are always looking for stunning actors, aspirational directors, and dedicated production teams to support us both on and off stage.
Our past productions include classic plays by William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, George Bernhard Shaw, Noel Coward and Alan Ayckbourn, as well as more recent plays by the likes of Christopher Durang, Martin McDonagh and many more.

Entity Academy

Our Academy focusses on all workshop events themed around theatrical skills training and development. Course offerings range from acting and character physicality workshops to stage management and technical seminars, and more. You get to explore theatre, work on team building, learn new skills and improve your techniques.

Other Theatrical Activities and Social Events

Beyond classic plays, we offer Playreadings in a relaxed atmosphere. This is not only a fun experience, it also allows us to explore scripts on future production potential.
Another highlight is our annual 24h Theatre Festival, an open theatre competition of shorts acts. You have exactly 24 hours to create a skit from scratch, based on a briefing Friday evening, which will then be performed the following night at the festival.
On a regular basis members also meet up for social events, for ex. at a bar or visit the Christmas market, to connect and socialize and have fun.

FEATS

Since 2003 Entity has been participating in FEATS, the Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies. This annual event is the largest English-language theatre festival on mainland Europe and always takes place at Whitsun, hosted in varying cities. In 2019, we gave our debut to host FEATS in Munich.
We have taken part 11 times in the main competition and have received a number of nominations and awards. Awards include the award for First Place (2012, Three Nights with Madox), Second Place (2004, Games), Third Place (2017, Numbers), Best Stage Presentation (2008, The Parting), Best Original Script (2014, The Ribbon), Best Actress (2012, Three Nights with Madox/ 2023, Wanda’s Visit/ 2024, Trifles), Best Actor (2012, Three Nights with Madox), and Stage Management (2024, Trifles).
