Junges Schauspiel Düsseldorf is North Rhine-Westphalia’s largest theatre for young audiences, blending artistic excellence with social engagement. Part of the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, it operates from the Central venue on Münsterstraße and reaches over 60,000 visitors per season. With a dedicated ensemble and guest artists, the theatre stages six new productions annually, ranging from contemporary youth dramas to imaginative adaptations of children’s literature. Its programming is designed to spark curiosity, empathy, and dialogue among young people. Beyond performances, Junges Schauspiel hosts festivals, workshops, and initiatives like D’Insiders—a youth advisory board that fosters participation and co-creation. The venue’s inclusive approach and commitment to cultural education make it a vital force in Düsseldorf’s performing arts scene.
Düsseldorf Germany
The Junges Schauspiel Düsseldorf is currently located at Worringer Straße 140, 40210 Düsseldorf, in the Central building near the main train station. Originally established in 1976 as part of the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus and housed in a former factory building in the northeast of Düsseldorf from 1993, it moved in 2025 to its new, modern venue at Central. This location features two performance stages and a glass bridge foyer, forming part of the cultural quarter that includes FFT Düsseldorf, Literaturbüro NRW, the central library KAP1, and the Tanzhaus NRW. Nearby, visitors can access Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof for convenient public transportation, as well as a lively urban environment with shops, cafes, and other cultural institutions. The area serves as a creative hub for theater aimed at children, youth, and families, attracting a broad audience with diverse contemporary performances.
