Spielstätten

Venues

Our theatre building encompasses three regular performance spaces. Some Theater Oberhausen offerings take place at different locations in the city or in the digital realm.

All of our performance spaces are accessible to everyone. Please contact our box office team to reserve wheelchair and companion seating. Our cloakroom personnel and our staff on the doors are happy to provide assistance at any time. More info on accessibility.

Großes Haus

The Grosses Haus is a medium-sized venue for spoken drama and is equipped with modern stage technology. It can host up to 448 audience members and every seat has a good view of the stage.

Studio

As the Studio stage, this black box performance space created in the former painters’ hall and still known until recently as Hall (Saal) 2 is a compact and versatile theatre space. The hall itself has no fixed seating. Up to 99 audience members can be hosted with the flexible space concepts.

The Studio is reached through the door that also serves as the stage entrance, around 50 metres to the left of the main entrance.

Bar

The bar at Theater Oberhausen has been a place where the whole city can come and meet up since the 2022/23 performance season. This is mainly where the varied Open Haus programme takes place. Whether the Stadtbar, drama & drinks, bar quiz or offerings from city ambassadors, you’ll find entertaining events on the Open Bar schedule!

In addition, we host introductory sessions and matinees as well as regular performances in the venue, which is equipped with modern sound technology. There is also food available for many of the shows and events at the namesake bar.
