Eclectic Theatre is international and multicultural. Its present members and supporters are students and professionals from the Czech Republic, Belgium, France, Canada, the USA, and the UK as well as Germany.

The artistic director, Michael Halstead, comes from the UK and has been involved in theatre as an actor, a director and a playwright (with three professional productions of his own work to his credit). His first play, on the life of the composer Anton Bruckner, was premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1982, where it was nominated for a Fringe First award. From 1991-1998 he lived in Prague, where he appeared in many productions, as well as directing and taking up the post of artistic director of Exposure Theatre Company from 1996-1998. This company used professional and amateur Czech and English native speaking actors for bilingual productions as well as productions in English, and was sponsored by the British Council, among others. He came to Dresden in 2000, and works as a freelance teacher of English and translator as well as writing and directing. Film credits include Mandragora, Caribbean and The Manor.

Our current monthly fee is 6 € for supporting members and 7 € for acting members.
