The Theater Vorpommern is a three-genre touring theatre with main venues in Stralsund, Greifswald, and Putbus on Rügen. The Stralsund theatre building with around 540 seats, a Classicist building from 1916, is the home venue. The shared ensemble produces drama, music theatre, and ballet with the Philharmonic Orchestra Vorpommern and serves a geographically extensive region between the Baltic Sea and the Mecklenburg Lake District. Stralsund itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site as a Hanseatic brick Gothic city; the unique historical setting also shapes the theatre. The Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival and the Vorpommern State Music Days supplement the programme. Its network includes the neoclassical theatre on the island of Rügen, one of Germany's smallest and northernmost stages.
Stralsund was one of the most important Hanseatic cities in the Middle Ages — the historic old town with its brick Gothic churches has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2002.
