The Schwankhalle's program encompasses contemporary theatre, performance art, dance, musical theatre, concerts, readings, discussions, and other formats for cultural exchange. In addition to its own productions, the venue hosts guest performances, co-productions, and national and international projects. Local artists and independent groups are also given space for performances, rehearsals, research, and the development of new works.

For event organizers, the Schwankhalle offers a suitable setting for guest performances, smaller concerts, stage programs, lectures, audience discussions, and experimental event formats. Inquiries regarding rentals, guest performances, and concerts are coordinated directly through the team. The available stage equipment and the various room sizes allow for flexible adaptation to different artistic and thematic concepts.

The venue places particular emphasis on accessibility, diverse perspectives, and an open event culture. The event spaces are all on the ground floor and accessible without steps. The foyer features a bar serving drinks and snacks, open on event days. Thus, the Schwankhalle offers a distinctive location for cultural events, stage productions, and special encounters in Bremen.
