In the picturesque district town of Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Lower Saxony, the 15th Youth Theatre Festival took place at the municipal cultural centre. The event, organised by the Lower Saxon and Bremen German Stage Association (NBB), was a resounding success, attracting 120 participants from various locations across the region.
Arnold Preuß, president of the German Stage Association, expressed his satisfaction with the festival, stating that everything was working out perfectly. He also confirmed his enjoyment of theatre playing, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The festival weekend was a celebration of theatre, with six performances by guests and a diverse workshop programme aimed at refining acting skills, including body language, voice, improvisations, and character work. Each morning began with a warm-up programme on the sports field at Gut Sandbeck.
The Plattmüüs, a youth theatre group, performed their adaptation of Michael Ende's classic novel, "The Neverending Story," in the large hall of the barn at Gut Sandbeck. The play was adapted for the stage by John von Düffel.
Ulrike Schütze from Wilhelmshaven and Timon Finke, 2nd chairman of the TiO, moderated and welcomed participants. The TIO team, who hosted the festival for the third time this year, provided food and drinks for all attendees throughout the weekend.
A large parachute was set up in the courtyard as sun and rain protection, courtesy of the Lions Club. The slogan of the festival was "We are the future," printed on pink T-shirts worn by all participants.
The festival emphasized the importance of enriching work through creative impulses. Participants, including children and young people, attended from locations such as Neuenburg, Emden, Nordenham, Haselünne, Aurich, Wilhelmshaven, and Cuxhaven. They overnighted in the sports hall of the Menckeschule during the festival weekend.
While there is limited information available about the specific workshops and performances at this year's festival, typical Youth Theatre Festivals in the region feature a combination of theatre performances by youth groups, interactive workshops on acting, stagecraft, and theater production, and opportunities for young performers to showcase original or classic plays.

The festival, extending its reach beyond theatre, incorporated elements of outdoor-living, with morning warm-up programmes held at Gut Sandbeck's sports field. Participants, travelling from Bremen and other locations like Wilhelmshaven, Neuenburg, and Cuxhaven, immersed themselves in home-and-garden activities during the festival weekend, overnighting in the Menckeschule's sports hall.
