An anniversary celebration full of theater magic and encounters
On Saturday, July 4, 2026, the Bielefeld Puppet Theater – Dagmar Selje at Herforder Straße 5-7 will open its doors for a special festive weekend. The occasion: ten years in the Skala House and an equally long chapter of lived cultural work in Bielefeld.
An afternoon of memories, discoveries, and family moments
From 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the traditional theater transforms into a place full of movement and curiosity. Visitors will experience a lovingly designed program with coffee and cake, a flea market, a crafting and painting corner, as well as a prize wheel with attractive winnings. Particularly atmospheric: The auction of selected finds from the theater archive at 3:30 PM and 5:00 PM.
The Skala House as a vibrant cultural venue
Since the Bielefeld Puppet Theater moved into the Skala House at Jahnplatz in 2016, a closely connected cultural center has developed here. The house stands for puppet theater, encounters, and an audience that appreciates closeness to the stage. The hall offers around 100 seats and creates the intimate event atmosphere that makes puppet theater and small theater so special.
Family-friendly, approachable, and full of little highlights
The anniversary celebration is aimed at families, theater lovers, and the curious who want to take a look behind the scenes. Those who know the ensemble and the character of this house quickly realize: It’s not just about a program, but about a real event experience full of heart, craftsmanship, and audience spirit. Especially for children, a day full of participatory moments is created, while adults discover finds, history, and theater tradition.
Conclusion: A celebration that makes Bielefeld's puppet theater visible
The open house for the ten-year anniversary of Skala combines culture, family programs, and theater history into an open celebration for all generations. Anyone who wants to experience the special atmosphere of the house should not miss this summer afternoon in Bielefeld.
