About the venue and programme
Theater am Marienplatz is an independent theatre with a long-running focus on work beyond the familiar repertoire. Founded in 1976, TAM has continually specialised in lesser-known and contemporary pieces, primarily by writers and composers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Many of its productions are world or first performances. That focus makes the theatre a good fit if your Willich evening plans include seeing work that may be new to the stage, rather than a standard touring production.
One recurring feature is the night programme, presented every month and traditionally held on Fridays at 22:00. An ensemble of 10 to 15 people performs it. The exact programme can change, so choose a performance based on the current listing rather than assuming a particular title will be on.
Although it is often associated with a visit from Willich, the theatre is in Krefeld-Fischeln, not Willich. Its official address is Marienplatz 81, 47807 Krefeld.
Tickets and performance planning
Admission to the night programme is at the audience’s discretion, according to the theatre. This arrangement applies to that programme; check the details for any other performance before making plans.
Start by looking up the performance you want, then confirm its start time, admission details and any booking requirements directly with the theatre. The recurring night programme is traditionally scheduled for Fridays at 22:00, but the current listing is the best guide to a specific evening.
For questions, the theatre’s official imprint gives the telephone number 0 21 51 / 30 52 73. Check the official site before you go.

If you are extending your Willich visit, a separate outing to Schloss Neersen and its grounds could fit into your plans.
