Theater am Hechtplatz

Follow organizer

For more than 50 years, the Theater am Hechtplatz has stood for high-class entertainment. The cobblestones in the foyer are reminiscent of the former taxi stand, which the architect Ernst Gysel integrated into the theatre building in 1959 on behalf of the city. The theatre belongs to the Presidential Department of the City of Zurich and is a guest performance company without a permanent ensemble. More than 1000 different theatre productions have already passed over the small wooden stage. Big names such as Ruedi Walter and Margrit Rainer, Cesar Keiser, Walter Andreas Müller, Gardi Hutter or Joachim Rittmeyer have celebrated their premieres at Hechtplatz. The core of the programme consists of cabaret, comedy, musicals and - on winter days - the popular fairy tale productions.
