The performances organised by the Theater- und Musikgesellschaft Zug at the Theater Casino Zug are a veritable beacon of culture for the city of Zug and the surrounding region. The programme is innovative and refreshing, without ever compromising on quality, and covers music (classical, jazz, folk/world music), dance, theatre and comedy, all in a unique lakeside location. The Theater- und Musikgesellschaft, which is now over 200 years old and which built the Theater Casino Zug a century ago, is one of the oldest cultural institutions throughout the country. The fact that is has over 1,000 members and patrons proves that it has a strong support of the local community.
