The English Theatre Frankfurt is the largest English-language theatre on the European mainland. Founded in 1979, it shows exclusively English-language productions — from Broadway and West End plays through classics to musicals — and attracts an international audience as well as English learners from across Germany. The house on the Gallusanlage in Frankfurt's banking district has established itself as a firm cultural institution and engages professional English-speaking actors from Britain, Ireland, and the USA. School classes from all over the country visit the theatre regularly to experience English-language theatre in the original — a fixture in many curricula and a unique educational and cultural offering.
In the banking metropolis of Frankfurt, with its large international community, the house finds a natural audience — expats and bankers fill the performances.
