The Stubaier Bauerntheater is one of the oldest peasant theatres in the Tyrol region of Austria.[1] The theatre group was founded by Ludwig Hupfauf and Hans Klingenschmid in 1903, in the town of Fulpmes in the Stubai Valley.[2] Hupfauf led the association as chairman for more than half a century, but was also playwright, director and, from 1961, also active as an actor. Klingenschmid died in 1934.[3]
The theatre venue is the Fulpmes Community Hall, at Riehlstraße 3, 6166 Fulpmes.[4]
The theatre puts on a wide range of plays including dramas and comedies, and has evolved from originally performing plays with rural themes to more modern plays. In 2021 the Stubaier Bauerntheater put on a performance of Max Neal's The Sinful Village.[1]
