During this time, she teamed up with famous theater directors like Dieter Dorn, Thomas Langhoff, and Hans Lietzau. In 1980 Franziska was awarded the Theater Förderpreis of Munich. Since 2002 Franziska Walser has been increasingly involved in experimental theater productions. In many of these, directors Jan Bosse and Dusan David Parizek, among others, have become important collaborators for her. Since 2013/2014 Franziska Walser has been a noticeable part within the ensemble at the Staatstheater Stuttgart where she is currently playing the leading part in Samuel Beckett's Happy Days staged by director Armin Petras. The ambitious film actress won the Bayerische Filmpreis in 1991 as Best Actress in Frank Seitz's Erfolg and in 2010 she was awarded the prestigious Adolf Grimme Preis for her work in Nikolaus Leytner's Ein halbes Leben which also secured her a nomination at the Deutsche Fernsehpreis as Best Supporting Actress.
