Repertoire
The theatre's permanent repertoire comprises three shows based on traditional fairytales (The Ugly Duckling, Hansel and Gretel and The Three Little Pigs), and four written and devised by Bernard and Snježana Pungerčič themselves: Cesarsko jabolko, a celebration of the history of Sevnica's famous indigenous apple; Zakaj sem Ajček?, which follows the adventures of a rabbit as he searches for the first letter of his name; (Ne)zgode v prometu, which teaches children the importance of road safety; and Kako je pastirček postal kralj, a classic rags-to-riches fairytale. All shows are performed at the castle, but may also be booked for performances elsewhere.
