Voluntary award for small stage: Landau celebrates cultural commitment!

In a festive setting, the city of Landau awarded this year's honorary office to the small stage of Landau on the international day of the volunteer. The deputy Lena Dürphold and the volunteer Angelika Kemmler paid tribute to the theater pedagogical work of the group, which has played a central role in the city's cultural life for 44 years. In her speech, Dürphold emphasized that the over 2,000 spectators who come to the performances every year underline the importance and reach of the commitment. This award is not only a sign of recognition, but also associated with a donation check of 1,000 euros to support the activities of the association. This initiative is funded by the Sparkasse Südpfalz to further expand the cultural offer in Landau, according to the reporting of Pfalz-Express .

The honorary office award, which has been awarded since 2016, is very popular with the citizens who regularly proposed the small stage for this honor. The theater group is not only committed to culturally, but also promotes social projects, such as the support of the India aid of Father Franklin. This shows that the work of the small stage goes beyond the theater and appeals to various social concerns. In the future, the city plans to traditionally give the honorary office on the international day of the volunteering, which is emphasized by Speyer-kurier
