From Page to Stage

Creative – collective – dynamic! Theatre is a multifaceted cosmos in which people in artistic, craft, and technical professions work together towards a common goal: the premiere night.

In the major special exhibition 2025/26, we will enter the backstage area of the Munich Residenztheater and accompany the current production of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," which premieres on May 16, 2025.

How and under what conditions do people in dramaturgy, in the workshops, or on the rehearsal stage collaborate? The exhibition explores what moves the theatre world today, 50, or even 100 years ago, showcases highlights from the historical collections of the German Theatre Museum, and invites you to discuss the future of theatre!
