Outdoor Stories in Thurgau

June 2, 2026 – Cultural delights under the open sky: Whether set against the backdrop of a historic castle or overlooking Lake Constance, Thurgau’s open-air theaters will once again provide magical theatrical moments this summer.

Scenes in the Spotlight: Theater Under the Stars
Those who appreciate subtle tones and grand stories will find the Thurgau open-air stages a true delight. This year, the See-Burgtheater in Kreuzlingen once again transforms the Lake Constance setting into an atmospheric theatrical world. On the program is “The Legend of Anne Bonny”—the story of a woman who defies the social constraints of her time and experiences freedom for a brief moment. Action, humor, and powerful emotions included. The Hagenwil Castle Festival also offers a special atmosphere: Jean-Baptiste Molière’s comedy “The Miser” is performed in the historic courtyard of the moated castle. This timelessly amusing story about money, greed, and the misconception that wealth brings happiness delights with wit, charm, surprising twists, and lovingly drawn characters. A theater evening that promises the best in entertainment. For younger guests, the fairy tale “Hans in Luck” will be performed.
