Tonight, the big Addams family dinner is taking place, but something is different with her daughter. The usually so dark and grim Wednesday Addams is suddenly smiling! A frightening sight – her mother Morticia is sure she's sick. But her husband Gomez insists on the planned dinner and is also behaving strangely. What Morticia doesn't know: Wednesday is in love and wants to get engaged. To a handsome, intelligent young man from a respectable family, of all people. Terribly unmorbid. And it gets worse. At the family dinner, the two families are supposed to finally get to know each other. While the Addamses are enthusiastic about torture instruments, the Beinekes are acting a bit stiffly. When Pugsley, Wednesday's little brother with a penchant for explosives, gets involved, the young couple's happiness is put to a severe test. The internationally successful Broadway musical can now be seen here in Coburg. Look forward to a quirky, chaotic evening and celebrate the unconventional!

Athens is at a standstill. The old King Theseus announces his abdication once again, but so far nothing has happened. His wife Phaedra is also growing impatient, eager to finally throw off the restrictive corset of the court. The designated heir to the throne, Demophon, is already awaiting his coronation. All that is missing is the planned marriage to Persea, which is supposed to seal the transfer of power. But Persea is no docile bride. Instead of resigning herself to her fate, she questions the rules – and ignites her forbidden love for Phaedra. A scandal that shakes the foundations of Athenian society. In a world ruled by rigid rules and the influence of the high priest, love can become a dangerous act of rebellion. What ensues is a struggle between social order and individual freedom.

On the stormy night when the robber's daughter Ronja is born, lightning strikes Mattisburg Castle. From then on, there are two halves of the castle. In one half, Ronja lives with her band of robbers, led by her father Mattis. The other half remains empty for a long time – until the rival Borka band suddenly takes over. As Ronja grows older, she begins to explore the adjacent forest on her own. On these forays, she must brave wild dwarves, grey gnomes, and many other dangers and finally encounters Birk, the son of the rival Borka band of robbers.

Berlin, 1927: The young Harry Frommermann admired the American a cappella group The Revelers so much that he decided to form his own band. He promptly placed a newspaper ad to find fellow members. Over seventy candidates auditioned in Frommermann's apartment. There were several performances and changes in the ensemble until the most famous lineup to date, the Comedian Harmonists, was formed: Robert Biberti, Ari Leschnikoff, Roman Cycowski, Erich Collin, and Harry Frommermann, joined by Erwin Bootz on piano. With songs like " Ein Freund, ein guter Freund" (A Friend, a Good Friend) and "Wochenend' and Sonnenschein" (Weekend and Sunshine), the sextet took not only German stages by storm. But their success did not protect them from the increasingly present National Socialist regime, as three of the members were Jewish. Following harassment and rejections, they were banned from performing and ultimately the tragic breakup of the group.

Is it still possible to bring a child into the world with a clear conscience today? This is the question posed by a young couple who long for a child. But the world they would be born into is fraught with crises: overpopulation, climate change, dwindling resources, economic insecurity. Is it irresponsible to have a child now – or perhaps even necessary? What begins as an innocuous question unfolds into a whirlwind of closeness and distance – a rollercoaster of emotions that shakes their life plans. Shouldn't they, both responsible, Fair Trade-buying people, refrain from accelerating the planet's destruction by having children? Where is the line between selfishness and responsibility?
