Incidentally, the Theater Casino Zug was built in 1909 by Dagobert Keiser and Richard Bracher and serves as the hub of Zug’s cultural life. The recent renovation has breathed new life into its old glamour.
A look back shows that Zug has a long theatrical tradition: The earliest records of public performances with over 3,000 spectators date back to the 17th century. In 1782–83, a permanent theater venue was established at the city’s expense. The modest “Comoedi-Haus” was located on the first floor above the old city butcher shop, which is now the police station on Kolinplatz. In 1808, the private “Theatergesellschaft Zug” was founded; it remains active today as the Theater- und Musikgesellschaft Zug (tmgz).
With the 2025–2026 season, the Theater Casino Zug continues this tradition and invites its audience to rediscover the power of myths on stage.
