Der Berliner Kindertheaterpreis 2027
After 20 years of successful collaboration, the joint biennial competition for the development of new children’s plays organized by Berlin’s GRIPS Theater and the energy services provider GASAG is entering a new era. Up to four playwrights will be supported throughout the play development process—including two intensive workshops—with the dramaturgical and theater education resources of the GRIPS Theater. Another pillar is the expanded participation of children and young people. All winning plays produced in the 10 editions of the collaboration to date have been staged at the GRIPS Theater, and four of the resulting productions were invited to the Mülheim Children’s Play Award. With this relaunch, GRIPS and GASAG aim to amplify children’s voices in theater while simultaneously highlighting the relevance of professional dramatic texts in theater for young audiences.
