Zug has an old theater tradition. First records of public performances with over 3000 spectators date back to the 17th century. In 1782/83, a permanent theater venue was established at the expense of the town. The modest "Comoedi-Haus" was located on the second floor above the old Stadtmetzg, today's police station on Kolinplatz. In 1808, the private "Theatergesellschaft Zug" was founded, which is still active today as the Theater und Musikgesellschaft Zug (tmgz). In 1979-80, the space was expanded by architect Hanspeter Ammann to include a modern theater and concert hall, foyer and various adjoining rooms.
