Christian Stückl has been the artistic director since 2002. He opened the theater and, together with young directors and a young ensemble, forged a new identity for it. The program is complemented by readings, concerts, and panel discussions. Since 2005, the “Radikal jung” festival for young directors has been held annually. Through “Radikal jung,” the Munich Volkstheater presents successful productions by emerging directors.
