Sie spielen in deutscher, englischer, spanischer oder russischer Sprache, improvisieren gemeinsam mit dem Publikum, bauen Bühnenbilder und schreiben eigene Geschichten: Insgesamt neun aktive studentische Theatergruppen haben ihren Ursprung an der Universit?t Bamberg, einige davon sind inzwischen als selbstst?ndige Vereine t?tig.

Sie alle stehen für das kulturelle Engagement der Universit?t Bamberg. Denn Theater an der Universit?t schafft einen vielf?ltig nutzbaren Raum, in dem Sprachkenntnisse, kulturelle Bildung oder Soft Skills ausgebaut werden. Als ein Ort der Begegnung und Kommunikation l?sst Theater Universit?t und Studierende zudem in einen Dialog mit Gesellschaft, Politik und anderen Kulturen treten.
