Theater im OP

[3][6] Its primary mission is to give opportunities to students for training and hands-on experience in a theater.

The northern face of the building has a large window, that is usually covered with a black sheet of molton.

Unlike during an operation focused on one spot in the middle of the hall, actors can – and do – use the whole width and length of the stage.

This, combined with the bench structure, tend to give the theater an intimate atmosphere.

Nonetheless, the crew is determined to find means allowing everyone to attend shows.

Properties and costumes are stored in the attic of an adjacent building, if they are not in use in current or upcoming productions.

From October 2014 till March 2016 a damage of the roof forced the ThOP to use other irregular venues.

[7][10] In the course of building repairs a ventilation system has been built in into the ThOP's own attic.

[13] Casts and crews are predominantly students, but a sizable number of the participants are university staff and towns-people as well.

[3][1] The admission pricing policy is non-profit, nonetheless subsidies and sponsoring[14] support the budget.
