When his parents go dancing on Saturday nights, ten-year-old Anton Bohnsack settles in at home with his favorite books. He loves reading vampire stories—the scarier, the better. But when a real vampire suddenly appears on his windowsill one evening, it gives him a real fright. It's a good thing this little bloodsucker, Rüdiger von Schlotterstein, and his younger sister, Anna the Toothless, are more interested in friendship than in Anton's blood. If only it weren't for the adults! Human children should probably stay hidden from Rüdiger's relatives. Anton's parents don't really believe in vampires, but they're determined to invite their son's strange new friends over for cake. And then there's the nasty Geiermeier, who wants to make the cemetery vampire-free...

The Little Vampire

Staatstheater Mainz

The Cat in the Hat ends up in Stackeln an der Kruke by chance. She moves into an old, empty house where the grumpy brewery director Maulwisch spent his unhappy childhood. The cat promises to make the house a thoroughly happy place. But that's impossible on her own – so little by little she takes in a bunch of homeless people, orphans, and oddballs: Marianne the Dudelhuhn, Captain Knaak, the Zappergeck, Baby Hübner the musical pig, the Stolpervogel, and the Erbsenstein brothers. Together they turn the house completely upside down and open the doors to happiness. But with so many protégés, there's naturally no money left for the rent. Brewery director Maulwisch immediately makes a fuss!

The cat promises to make the house a happy place to live. But that is impossible on her own - so little by little she takes in a bunch of homeless people, orphans and oddballs: the pipe hen Marianne, Captain Knaak, the Zappergeck and the Puddingbrumsel, the musical pig Baby Hübner, the stumbling bird, the Erbsenstein brothers and even the decent llama who sleeps a lot. Together they turn the house upside down and open the doors to happiness. But with so many charges there is of course no money left for the rent. Brewery director Maulwisch starts to make a fuss!
