The Company opens its doors: An unusual theater moment at MiR
With The Company, the Music Theater in the Revier invites you to a special open house day with the stattWerkSTADT. On June 21, 2026 at 5:00 PM, the Large House at Kennedyplatz in Gelsenkirchen transforms into a place between stage, urban space, and workshop atmosphere. The event is free of charge, and tickets are available at the theater box office. ([gelsenkirchen.de](https://www.gelsenkirchen.de/de/_meta/veranstaltungskalender/95617-die-firma))
An evening of theater with a workshop feel
The event takes the audience deep into an invented company world, which at first glance appears routine but immediately builds tension behind the facade. Paper airplanes, copiers, canteen, and production hall become elements of a lively event experience that oscillates between everyday reality and stage fantasy. This is precisely what gives the format its special audience atmosphere. ([gelsenkirchen.de](https://www.gelsenkirchen.de/de/_meta/veranstaltungskalender/95617-die-firma))
Urban space, indoor space, movement
Especially striking is the form: The event takes place partly outdoors and partly indoors, and the audience moves between several stations. There are limited seating options, no cloakroom, and no wheelchair access. Restrooms are available. This mixture shapes event management as well as the perception on site, as movement and encounters become part of the staging.

The venue: Music Theater in the Revier
The Music Theater in the Revier is one of the most prominent theater buildings of the post-war period and is a central cultural location in Gelsenkirchen. The house at Kennedyplatz is known for its good connections by bus and train; additionally, the entry ticket in the VRR serves as a ticket for the round trip in fare zone B. Parking spaces are limited and available starting one hour before the performance.
