The Alfred-Kerr-Acting-Award recognises the outstanding achievement by a young actor in one of the productions invited to the Theatertreffen. The 2025 juror was the Swiss theatre and film actor Bettina Stucky. Carmen Steinert received the award for her outstanding performance in the production “Blutbuch” from Theater Magdeburg.
This award comes with a sum of 5,000 Euro and was awarded for the 29th time on the final weekend of the festival at Haus der Berliner Festspiele.
The Alfred-Kerr-Acting-Award was initiated in memory of the Berlin theatre critic Alfred Kerr by his children Judith and Michael Kerr in 1991, together with Pressestiftung Tagesspiegel and Berliner Festspiele / Theatertreffen. It is offered by the Alfred Kerr Foundation with support from Berliner Festspiele. Further supporters are Verlag Der Tagesspiegel, the Hartung family and Gustav Kiepenheier Bühnenvertriebs-GmbH.
Every year, a different renowned theatre personality is the award’s juror.
