In 1996 the World Trade Center in Dresden was built, where Saxony's largest private theatre with 643 seats immediately established itself and has enjoyed ever-increasing popularity ever since.

The repertoire of the COMÖDIE Dresden does not strictly adhere to the genre "comedy" but creates a broad spectrum for a wider audience and works with international guests.

The list of actors at COMÖDIE Dresden ranges from: Herbert Köfer, Peter Herden, Vera Irrgang, Olaf Böhme, Rolf Dietrich, Johannes Heesters, Horst Schulze, Alfred Müller, Heinz Rennhack to Tom Pauls, Olaf Schubert and Anita Kupsch.
