This first-class cabaret is known not only for its amateur theater performances, but also for the diverse volunteers who work behind the scenes.

Margarete Bangert has had the box office under control for more than a decade. Her journey into volunteering began with a friendly invitation, and she now ensures that everything related to ticket sales runs smoothly.
