GRIPS Foundation

The Berlin GRIPS Theater is considered the founder and important anchor point of emancipatory children's and youth theater. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the GRIPS Theater, the GRIPS Foundation was founded in spring 2019. It serves as the legal and organizational cornerstone to be able to look not only back, but also 50 years into the future.

GRIPS Theater is an inspiring, locally and internationally connected place for children's and youth theater. For decades it has produced successful plays for young and young-at-heart audiences who are picked up in the reality of life and encouraged to help shape the world. BUT: The venue is bursting at the seams and the existing building on Hansaplatz is no longer sufficient. That's why we are launching the 1 MILLION Euro campaign for more GRIPS Theater on June 25, 2024.

With your donation, you are supporting a theater of the future for children and young people in the 
in the center of our city. We thank you for your support in developing GRIPS 2.0 as a place of creativity, participation and cultural diversity. 

Within three years, the co-financing of the 19 million federal funds that we have been granted from the KulturInvest program must be secured.  
Here we are hoping for the support of the Berlin Senate. Your donation will enable us to contribute our own share and send a political signal to the state administration.

If the new building cannot be realized, donations will be used to renew the technology and equipment in the existing GRIPS Theater.

GRIPS Foundation

The aim is to make GRIPS independent of political influences and the real estate market and therefore to strengthen the idea of emancipatory children and youth theatre permanently. The foundation will initially focus on GRIPS Theater in Berlin itself. With increasing establishment, the foundation also supports the international network of children and youth theatres that feel committed to the GRIPS idea of emancipatory children and youth theatre.

The GRIPS Foundation pursues exclusively charitable purposes and is a non-incorporated foundation that is managed in trust by GRIPS Theater gGmbH and is therefore represented by it in legal and business transactions.
