Theater in der Badewanne is a puppet theatre in Stuttgart’s Höhenpark Killesberg, set within a car-free park. Its name refers to seating shaped like a bathtub.

Founded by Antonie Fröhlich in 1980, the theatre presents fairy tales and children’s stories through several puppet forms. Hand puppets, rod puppets and shadow theatre shape its performances. These stories can carry gentle humour and elements of the Swabian dialect into the theatre’s presentations. The venue has occupied its present space since the International Horticultural Exhibition in 1993.

Families find a playground, an animal meadow, a small train and a high observation tower nearby. The surrounding park keeps cars away from the theatre. Garden restaurants and kiosks provide places to pause before or after a performance. Schools and kindergartens have special performances there. Different puppet techniques give the theatre a varied visual language for familiar tales and children’s stories. Stuttgart places this small stage inside a larger park setting.
