'Ronja the Robber's Daughter' is perhaps the most beautiful and complete story by Astrid Lindgren - exciting, moving, and funny at the same time, it tells of the friendship between two children who belong to rival groups of robbers and who must stand up against the stubbornness of adults to maintain their love for each other.

In the last 50 years of JTB's existence, no play has been performed and staged as often as 'Ronja the Robber's Daughter'. For its 50th anniversary in 2019, the play by Bernanrd Niemeyer is being newly staged for the fifth time. In May 2023, the roles of the children were recast.

‚The Tribunal‘ by Dawn King is a cruel dystopia. The drama is set in the near future, around the year 2040, and paints a very dark picture of a once civilized world where people can barely survive without technical assistance, and where all essential principles of the rule of law have been thrown overboard. This play raises many exciting and extremely uncomfortable questions. Is it legitimate to travel on vacation when vacation destinations elsewhere are being flooded? Is it legitimate for an employee of an advertising agency to advertise products that further accelerate climate change? And can an act be punished even if it was not punishable at the time of the act?

'The NeverEnding Story' was published in 1979, ranked on the bestseller lists for almost sixty weeks, and continues to delight readers of all ages around the world today. 

Bastian Balthasar Bux is constantly teased by his classmates and often escapes into the world of books. One day, when he has to hide from his tormentors on the way to school, he accidentally ends up in an old bookstore. There, Bastian comes across a book that has an almost magical attraction to him: it is 'The NeverEnding Story'. Unable to resist, he impulsively steals the book, hides in the attic of his school, and begins to read.

The book tells of the land of Fantastica, which is in great danger. Larger and larger parts of the land are being swallowed by the Nothing, and its ruler, the Childlike Empress, suffers from a mysterious illness that no doctor can cure. All hope lies with the young Atreyu, who is sent through the crumbling Fantastica to find a human child who can give the Childlike Empress a new name: for only that can save her and Fantastica now...

Bastian breathlessly follows Atreyu's incredible adventures. His desire to help the inhabitants of this wonderful land grows stronger until the book finally seems to start telling Bastian's own story... Could he, Bastian Balthasar Bux, actually be the human child they are looking for?

Moritz Seibert directs the story for audiences aged 8 and up.
