Frankfurt Activity: See a Show at Frankfurt University


The Chaincourt Theatre Company of the English department at Frankfurt University puts on at least one production a semester.


Last night we saw the company's outdoor production of Thornton Wilder's "Our Town," directed by university lector James Fisk. Students and others from the academic community sat on blankets and benches to watch the very professional production, which made good use of the campus's terraced lawn. I never cease to be amazed by the students' ability to perform at such a high level in a language not necessarily their own.

The Westend campus, where the shows are performed (Grüneburgplatz 1), is an easy 30-minute drive from Eppstein. If you missed this production, check the Chaincourt Theatre Company's website for their next one.
