*Stadttheater Peiner Festsäle* *Friday, 22.01.2027 at 16:00* Konrad or the Child from the Tin Can *by Christine Nöstlinger* *Sprechwerk Hamburg | Direction and adaptation: Ann-Cathrin Sudhoff* Supported by the Augustin Foundation “Konrad or the Child from the Tin Can” by Christine Nöstlinger tells the story of the artificially created model boy Konrad and the lovable chaos queen Berti Bartolotti, who unexpectedly become a unique family. The quirky Berti Bartolotti receives a parcel containing an oversized tin can. Out pops Konrad, a factory-fresh, perfect, and well-behaved boy. After the initial shock, she quickly takes the unexpected addition to the family to heart and grows into her role as a mother. When the company demands him back because the delivery was a mistake, Berti refuses to give Konrad back. With the support of her friends, she turns Konrad into a cheerful child with rough edges and character, whom the factory no longer wants back. The production was supported by the ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS and the Haspa Hamburg Foundation.

*Peiner Festival Halls City Theatre* *Wednesday, 03/03/2027 at 8:00 p.m.* The Grandparent Scam *Crime comedy by Frank Piotraschke* *Bremen Crime Theatre* The grandparent scam is widely known and notorious as a devious fraud scheme in which criminals pose as a close relative, often a grandchild, in order to first obtain information from older people and ultimately, under the pretense of a financial emergency, to squeeze money out of them. But don’t worry, with our final premiere of the season we do not intend to limit ourselves to educating people about common scams. We are happy to leave that to the police and the White Ring. Grandmother and grandson meet again after well over ten years and stand before each other like two people who hardly know one another at all. Is Manfred not strangely uncertain and reserved when answering some questions about his family? Veronica, who at first gives the impression of a charming, if somewhat absent-minded lady in her seventies, soon no longer gives the impression that she would let herself be taken in so easily. As the encounter goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that Veronica is not only very capable of defending herself against anyone and everyone, but also has a lot going on beneath the surface, is streetwise, has a sharp tongue, and has more than one skeleton in the closet. In any case, the plan she is pursuing puts Manfred, grandson or not, under more pressure than he would have thought possible ... There will be several information stands in the evening. *Students, university students and

*Stadttheater Peiner Festsäle* *Thursday, March 11, 2027 at 8:00 p.m.* Erhardt & Alexander A Show in Honor of Heinz Erhardt & Peter Alexander *Unforgettable hits and poems one after another* *They were the stars of the show from the economic miracle years through the 1980s!* Peter Alexander, the entertainer and actor with Viennese charm and endless talent. Everyone knows his film classics such as "The White Horse Inn," his countless hits like "The Little Pub," "Black Gold," or "Dad Will Sort It Out." His big Saturday night shows were legendary too, with world stars lining up to appear, and his comedic talent when he parodied Hans Moser or the British royal family was unmatched! Heinz Erhardt, a jack-of-all-trades on stage, comedian, actor, singer, and cabaret artist. Away from the stage, he wrote poems that everyone still knows today. Under the motto "Another Poem" or "What a Rascal I Am Again Today," he delighted generations and stood as a person for the archetypal man of the economic miracle era. Now there is finally the live show that pays tribute to both legends of German entertainment history! "This show is a homage, a red carpet, and will honor these two wonderful artists," says initiator and Peter Alexander performer Peter Grimberg with delight. "We will present a fireworks display of good cheer. The greatest Peter Alexander hits as well as the funniest sketches will not be missing!" At Peter Grimberg's side: Horst Freckmann as Heinz Erhardt. The two have known each other for decades and perform together on stage in various shows.

*City Theatre Peiner Festival Halls* *Wednesday, 03/03/2027 at 8:00 p.m.* Murder in the Shooting Club *Comedy with music by David Gieselmann* *Rhineland State Theatre Neuss* Sponsored by Peiner Heimstätte The shooting festival is drawing near! The most wonderful days of the year – full of tradition, community, and the joy of coming together. But what exactly is being celebrated? The club culture? Or is the city celebrating itself? Its own history? Or is it simply the sense of togetherness that makes these days so special? While the hardworking men march through the streets in the festival parade, cheers ring out, beer flows in streams, and from the balconies the mayor and the radiant shooting king offer their greetings. For a moment, boundaries seem to disappear – age, status, and origin fade into the background. But does that really apply to everyone? In the shooting parade, everyone is equal – or are they? Those who have moved away come home for these days to experience a sense of home and familiarity once again. But what does it feel like to return after a long time? What has changed – and what remains? Under the title “Murder in the Shooting Club,” author David Gieselmann creates a comedy as a crime story, a shooting festival as a tragicomedy, and a city festival as a fictional true-crime satire: however, the characters and events are entirely invented. David Gieselmann is a playwright and blogger. From 1994 to 1998, he studied dramatic writing at the Berlin University of the Arts. Even while still a student, he staged his own plays in the indep

*Stadttheater Peine Festival Hall* *Thursday, 08/04/2027 at 8:00 p.m.* The Imaginary Invalid *Comedy by Molière* *Komödie am Altstadtmarkt, Braunschweig* *With Franziska Traub (“Ritas Welt") and Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss (“Der Alte"* *1997–2015, “Dschungelcamp" 2025).* Sponsored by the Augustin Foundation At the center of this brilliant comedy classic is the hypochondriac Argan, whose thoughts revolve only around himself and his physical well-being. He is constantly preoccupied with imaginary illnesses and ailments, thereby terrorizing those around him. Only his maid Toinette bluntly asks him: “What exactly is wrong with you?” She points out to him that doctors and pharmacists are making a fortune off him. But that does not bother the wealthy Argan. Being ill is the purpose of his life. Since he always wants a doctor around him, his daughter Angélique is to marry a doctor. However, she does not agree, because she is secretly in love with Cléante. The situation comes to a head when Argans second wife Béline, who married him only for his money, enters the picture. She wants Argan to sign a will in her favor, for which she secretly plots intrigues. The tragedy of the story is that Molière, who himself played Argan in the premiere of “The Imaginary Invalid,” was seriously ill. In the fourth performance on February 17, 1673, he suffered a hemorrhage at the end of the performance and died shortly afterward still in costume. Thus this comedy remained his last play, and it became one of his most successful. To this day, the wonderfully eccentric character

*Peiner Town Theatre Festival Halls* *Tuesday, 20/04/2027 at 8:00 p.m.* Yes, we camp! *A sequel by René Heinersdorff* *with Willi Thomczyck, Antje Lewald, Dana Golombeck and René Heinersdorff* *Rhineland-Palatinate State Theatre* "... and hiss and click and gone" The king of grill sausages and the ruler of bargain hunters are now camping at Peine Town Theatre. They have no idea, but plenty of it. And while Benno and Lothar step squarely into every social blunder, their wives make sure the world does not end or, at the very least, that the canned beer stays nice and cold. It has been over 20 years! Now the "campers" are seeing each other again. Friends they once were, and whom the loss of the caravan drove apart more harshly than a divorce or a conviction. But as time passes, the longing for a chapter that was long since closed grows greater - so great - that they dare to meet. What were their names again? Benno, Lothar, Uschi and Stephanie? Maybe, but perhaps quite different. In any case, they were neighbours in a microcosm such as exists only at German campsites, at places where the true purpose of camping has been abolished: mobility. No, here you arrive, unscrew the wheels and replace them with bricks. And when you leave, you leave forever ... or at least for 20 years. Is there still anything to fix? With a bratwurst stand by Torsten Kowohl and team. *School pupils, students and trainees up to the age of 27 receive a discount upon presentation of the relevant ID.* *Wheelchair users please register!

*Studio99 at the Peine Municipal Theatre Festival Halls* *Friday, 30.04.2027 at 8:00 p.m.* Justitia Goes to Sleep Letters from Unreality *by Bettina Wilts and Stefan Honrath* *A staged reading about stalking* *Premiere* In cooperation with the Scharoun Theater Wolfsburg A man meets a woman. After some time, he notices that something is not right with her and wants to break off contact. This marks the beginning of an unexpected ordeal for him, as she stalks him, insults him, slanders him, and subjects him to daily terror. His initial belief that the police and the justice system would protect him begins to waver. He shares his experiences in letters, and the reactions of those around him, including the stalker, become clear in their letters. Above all, the exchange with his best friend allows the audience to empathize, suffer along with him, and ultimately leave with much to think about. The personal perspective is given space in this dramatically gripping play, as is the view of the rule of law, which is meant to protect its citizens. In advance, the author duo dealt with various real cases and transformed them into literary form. The result was a work whose content is fictional, but whose course could just as well take place in our country. This is a joint world premiere by Scharoun Theater Wolfsburg and Kulturring Peine, who are cooperating for the first time on a production. In addition to actors well known in Peine (including Thomas Henniger von Wallersbrunn), an actress and an actor from Wolfsburg will take part in this staged re

*Stadttheater Peiner Festsäle* *Thursday, 13.05.2027 at 8:00 p.m.* Harold and Maude *Based on the film by Hal Ashby and the screenplay by Colin Higgins* *Westphalian State Theatre* The approximately 20-year-old Harold has two hobbies that, to put it mildly, cause unease among those around him: he likes to fake suicides and he likes to go to funerals. In view of these disturbing abnormalities, his mother sees only one solution: Harold must get married. But every candidate flees in panic when Harold enthusiastically stages the next suicide scenario. And so he cheerfully drives his Cadillac, converted into a hearse, to the next funerals. There he keeps meeting 79-year-old Maude, who is bursting with joie de vivre, energy, and a love of adventure. From then on, they roam around together and unsettle half the town with their unconventional actions. Through Maude's unbridled creativity, Harold discovers a previously unknown zest for life and becomes increasingly emancipated from his domineering mother. But his hope of marrying Maude on her 80th birthday stands in direct contrast to what she has planned for that day ... “Harold and Maude” is one of the cult films in cinema history. The screenplay by Colin Higgins was originally created during a seminar for aspiring writers. Over the years, the resulting film became a perennial worldwide favorite. Shortly after the film's release, Higgins adapted the screenplay into a novel and a stage play. *School pupils, students, and trainees up to the age of 27 receive a discount upon presentation of the relevant ID.*

*Stadttheater Peiner Festsäle* *Friday, 21.05.2027 at 8:00 p.m.* Meeting Point: Kiosk Songs and Experiences Around Life *Landestheater Detmold* Whether it’s a corner shop, late-night convenience store, or snack bar: the local kiosk is the hub of every city and neighborhood. It is a meeting place, a stage, and a bridge between worlds. Here, the pensioner meets the schoolchild, the construction worker the yoga teacher, the lawyer the art student. Where these people’s paths would otherwise rarely cross, the desire for new crossword puzzles, a cold cola, a creamy ice cream, or a pack of cigarettes draws them all to the same place. Here people chat, pour out their hearts, celebrate victories, and resolve conflicts. Stories are created in passing — and once everything has been said, everyone goes their own way. Until the kiosk calls again. On a musical journey across schlager, pop, rock, folk, and swing, “Meeting Point: Kiosk” tells stories from the neighborhood — of longing, solidarity, and the small great moments of life. With kiosk stand in front of the theater. *School pupils, students, and trainees up to the age of 27 receive a discount upon presentation of the relevant ID.* *Wheelchair users please register!
