The Theatergesellschaft Entlebuch (Engl. Theatre Society Entlebuch) was founded in 1837 as an association, following earlier theatre activities in Entlebuch in a loose alliance since 1834. The society is located in the municipality Entlebuch, Canton Luzern, Switzerland, and has been active until today. Every few years the society presents a lavish operetta production that involves around 200 participants, most of them being locals and amateurs.[1]
