Stubaier Bauerntheater

Stubaier Bauerntheater is one of the oldest peasant theatres in the Tyrol of Austria.[1] The theatre group was founded in 1903 in Fulpmes by Ludwig Hupfauf and Hans Klingenschmid.[2] The former led the fate of the association as chairman for more than half a century, but was also playwright, director and, from 1961, also active as an actor. Founding member Klingenschmid died in 1934. The theatre, based in the parish hall on the Torquato-Tasso-Straße in Fulpmes, Austria, as of 2012 had 10 members.[3]

The theatre puts on a wide range of plays including dramas and comedies, and has evolved from originally performing plays with rural themes to more modern plays. In 2021 the Stubaier Bauerntheater put on a performance of Max Neal's The Sinful Village.[1]
