What this afternoon is about

As autumn gradually closes in outside, a mood of wonder, listening, and empathy unfolds in the theater space. Leo Lionni's original work has been a classic in children's and youth theater for years, and it is precisely this mix of clarity and poetry that makes this event in Aalen so appealing.

A venue with cultural closeness

Organization and artistic background

The Theater of the City of Aalen was founded in 1991 and is considered one of the youngest and smallest municipal theaters in Germany. It focuses clearly on proximity, mediation, and various formats for different target groups. For families and young audiences, the venue has been a constant cultural address in East Württemberg for years.
