It underwent significant renovation and modernization between 2006-2008, aiming to restore original architectural features while upgrading technical capabilities. Throughout its existence, the theatre has served as a key cultural institution for the region of Brandenburg, reflecting both local artistic talent and presenting international productions. It operates as a publicly funded theatre, committed to providing accessible arts experiences for the community.
