lange nacht der bühnen
Bremen will shine in a special light on September 21, 2024, as for the first time, the city's theaters and performance venues open their doors for the "Lange Nacht der Bühnen." From 4 PM to 11 PM, visitors can enjoy a diverse program offering insights into the rich variety of Bremen's stage arts. The program includes excerpts from productions, guided tours, and open rehearsals. The Lange Nacht der Bühnen is a celebration of diversity and community. Discovery, lingering, and encounters are the focal points of this evening.
One ticket grants access to the entire program and is valid from 1:00 PM until 3:00 AM the following day as a ticket for BSAG buses and trams (within Bremen in VBN zones 100 and 101). Since the Werder Bremen vs. FC Bayern Munich football match will be held at the Weser Stadium on the same day at 3:30 PM, you can expect buses and trains in the city—especially in the Ostertor and Steintor districts, as well as in the city center and at the main train station—to be crowded at times. Special services will also be running for the Bundesliga match, which will be heavily used by football fans. Please allow extra time for your travels.
Tickets are available here in advance. Admission to individual events is subject to availability.
Program: 4 PM - 11 PM at various stages in Bremen
Closing Party: from 10 PM at Falstaff with Lady Oelectric (Schulstr. 26, 28199 Bremen)

Message from the Patron Dr. Andreas Bovenschulte:
"Dear Friends of the Bremen Stages!
The pandemic phase, along with performance restrictions in the local cultural scene, has also brought about numerous new ideas and initiatives. What began as an exchange among Bremen's stages in response to Corona has now evolved into the first Lange Nacht der Bühnen, potentially establishing a notable and watchable tradition.
Bremen's theater landscape is rich and colorful; it extends far beyond big names like Theater Bremen or the Bremen Shakespeare Company. On September 21, 2024, Bremen's theaters will open their venues for seven hours during the Lange Nacht der Bühnen. Offerings will include excerpts from productions, open rehearsals, and guided tours. Theater creators will collectively showcase their remarkable range to attract new audiences and enhance the visibility of Bremen's stages. Since the events are scheduled sequentially, visitors can experience the full diversity that Bremen's theater landscape has to offer, not just on this evening but as a compact opportunity to discover new things.
Bremen's theater landscape deserves attention and support. I thank the organizing team for their dedication and wish the visitors of the Lange Nacht der Bühnen much pleasure and enlightenment."
