Stiftung für das Junge Theater Bonn – JTB-Stiftung

The JTB Foundation was established in 2014 to permanently preserve the Junge Theater Bonn in Beuel, which has existed for over 40 years. It acquired the listed theater building from the 19th century and secures, through its assets and the income generated, the maintenance, the removal of physical and sensory barriers, as well as the reduction of economic, social, and cultural obstacles. Furthermore, the foundation promotes the arts, culture, and educational offerings of the Junge Theater Bonn to enable children, young people, and families to access the theater and to maintain operations even during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

The JTB Foundation is committed to removing physical, sensory, economic, social, and cultural barriers for visitors, ensuring the preservation and monument-appropriate restoration of the historic theater building, improving comfort for all theater guests, and sustainably promoting art, culture, and education at the Junge Theater Bonn, so that as many children and young people as possible can regularly attend and participate in courses.

The funding measures of the JTB Foundation are aimed at children and adolescents, families with limited financial means, individuals with hearing or visual impairments (e.g., live audio description, sign language interpretation), as well as visitors with other physical, social, or cultural limitations, in order to provide all interested parties with barrier-free access to theater performances and course offerings of the Junge Theater Bonn.
