A fairy tale comes to life: The Bremen Town Musicians as a participatory theatre in the open air
On September 12, 2026, the summer stage in Schöntal Park in Aschaffenburg will transform into a place of imagination, play, and shared wonder. StoryStage Fairy Tale Theatre presents the Brothers Grimm fairy tale The Bremen Town Musicians as an interactive participatory fairy tale theatre – lively, humorous, and with a noticeable closeness to the audience. Children aged 4 and up and adults will experience a stage event that does not set a distance but rather fosters immediate theatre atmosphere and participation.

A role-switching game full of tempo and joy
At the center is an actress, who unfolds the characters of the story with impressive role-switching skills. This is precisely what makes this production special: With few resources, a lively dramaturgy emerges in which each character instantly takes shape. The fairy tale is not just told, but is energetically, comically, and rhythmically charged. The Bremen Town Musicians do not appear as distant classics, but as approachable, wise, and warm-hearted companions. ([mein.aschaffenburg.de](https://mein.aschaffenburg.de/event/storystage/))
Participate instead of just watching
StoryStage has relied on professionally executed stage craftsmanship and the immediate involvement of the audience for years. Children and adults are actively engaged in the action and are allowed to become part of the story themselves. This form of participatory theatre creates an intense audience reaction: laughter, shouts, tension, and small moments of surprise are all part of the concept. This aligns with the working method of the house, which has been presenting independently developed fairy tale productions in Aschaffenburg since 2007.

Summer stage in the green: Atmosphere between park and fantasy
The performance takes place as an outdoor event in Schöntal Park, at the entrance to City Galerie. The location greatly contributes to the impact: open air, green backdrop, a friendly family setting, and the feeling of a small celebration in the park. The organizer points out that deck chairs are available on site for free rental; food and drinks should be brought along. The event is part of Summer in Aschaffenburg and is categorized as a picnic blanket concert within the broader festival framework.

The Bremen Town Musicians remains a story about friendship, departure, and the courage to find a new way together. StoryStage translates this timeless narrative into an accessible, lively theatre experience for families. The blend of humor, direct address, and playful imagination creates that rare closeness that makes children's theatre great. Those who want to not just hear fairy tales but experience them will find here an afternoon filled with charm and heart. ([mein.aschaffenburg.de](https://mein.aschaffenburg.de/event/storystage/))
