Charity event

On the 15th of September, a charity event of the Dorftheater Utzenstorf will take place. Directed by Charles Benoit, the production “BurrenLenz” will be performed. All proceeds will contribute to the projects of the Usthi Foundation.

Founded in 1992, the Dorftheater Utzenstorf has been producing high-quality amateur theatre ever since. “We are always looking for the new, the surprising,” says president Susanne Höchenberger. “We work out everything ourselves. There is just a great atmosphere in the whole team.”

Charles Benoit, who has received many awards for his radio plays, has been working as a director on various productions at the Dorftheater since 2004. As a long-time supporter of the Usthi Foundation, he now arranged a charity performance.

In addition to the regular dates, the show will be performed on Wednesday, 15th of September. The performances will take place in the parish hall of the Reformed Church at Gotthelfstrasse 15c in Utzendorf.

More information about this year’s production can be found HERE.

Usthi and the Dorftheater Utzenstorf are looking forward to many visitors!
