Is there a need for theater on television? Theater is the only art category missing from the “Culture” section of the ARD media library. ZDF offers “Dance and Theater” on Arte.

A highlight for fans of the theater and at the same time the only one that German public television still has to offer. ZDF will select three productions and show them on 3sat.
