About Us

Open House Theatre is a Vienna-based company of dedicated arts professionals, committed to bringing high-quality, story-driven productions in the fields of theatre, film and multi-media to life.

Animated by the vision of a highly diverse and skilled group of actors, directors and associated artists, Open House retains a strongly international ethos, in both in the composition of our core company, our wider membership and the scope of our programming.

Operating as an independent, non-political association, we are entirely self-funded, receiving no central government or city level grants to present our work. Thus our finest resource is our people: through the hard work, craft and ingenuity of some of Vienna’s most innovative local artists, we continually strive to bring original, lesser-known and classic works of the international canon to the Viennese audience.

The company ethos is determinedly story-driven, focusing on bringing new worlds of experience, insight and perspective to Vienna’s marketplace of ideas, whilst still providing an entertaining, stimulating and enjoyable occasion to all our guests.
