Last summer, I had an amazing time participating in Bremen’s first organized Instawalk — and it was so successful that several more have been organizing since then! Last month, I was thrilled to join the group for a behind the scenes look at Theater Bremen. I have to admit that in all my years in Bremen, I have never seen any of the productions put on by the theater, but after seeing all the hard work and artistry that goes into a show, it’s definitely on my list of things to do.

We saw where they store the sets, walked through the carpentry and painting workshops, marveled at the texture and colors of the costume department, visited the rehearsal stages, and went backstage while they were setting up for a production. It really was an Instagrammer’s dream! So how about I stop rambling and show some photos already? If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll recognize most of these, but I’ve also included a couple outtakes just for fun…

We rounded out the tour with a drink at Noon, one of my favorite Bremer coffee shops, in the theater’s Kleines Haus. It was a perfect mix of being able to chat with familiar faces and get to know “new to me” Bremer Instagrammers.  For more on the Instawalk, check out this link. And many thanks to the City of Bremen’s social media channels for organizing the walk!
