Theater- und Musikgesellschaft Zug
Since 1808, the non-profit association Theater- und Musikgesellschaft Zug has been contributing to a lively and diverse cultural landscape in Zug. In 1909, it built the historic Theater Casino Zug. As one of the oldest and most traditional institutions in Zug, the association now has around 980 members and supporters.
Since 2025, the Zug Theatre and Music Society has been the sole sponsor of the Theater Casino Zug and, in addition to the professional cultural programme in the theatre, is also responsible for socio-cultural and commercial rentals, which were previously managed by the Theater Casino Zug Foundation. The programme includes drama, musical theatre, classical music, world music, performance, comedy, dance and young theatre, promising a mixture of tradition, zeitgeist and openness. Both internationally renowned programme items and local cultural creators contribute to this diverse mix of guest performances and co-productions. Events aimed at children, young people and school classes also have a firm place in the programme with the ‘Junges Theater Casino Zug’ (Young Theatre Casino Zug) section, in order to ‘strive for aesthetic education with combined forces’, as stated in the minutes of a board meeting from 1809. The Zug Theatre and Music Society shapes cultural and social life in Zug with strong, ever-changing and surprising accents. Its cultural commitment strengthens the identity of the Zug population and connects people through cultural experiences that move and inspire.
