The Seven Years' War is over. Minna von Barnhelm is searching for her fiancé, Major Tellheim, from whom she hasn't heard in weeks. He is penniless because a bill of exchange he received for an advance payment is not recognized as his property by a Berlin court. Now he is stuck in an inn and has to vacate his room to a more affluent noblewoman. The fact that this woman is Minna, of all people, doesn't ensure a quick happy ending. Tellheim's wounded sense of honor stands in the way of a new relationship. Minna, a self-confident and self-determined woman, tries to circumvent the major's stubbornness, but although they love each other and both believe their intentions are always good, they constantly run into each other. This is what makes the play so comically charming. The great Enlightenment thinker, Lessing, does not overlook how war defines and changes social positions.

This year's Christmas play at the Reithalle takes a look at the madness of everyday life. Based on his own experiences as a temporary Christmas elf at the famous department store chain Macy's, David Sedaris paints a wonderfully absurd picture of the festive season—full of overexcited customers, moody colleagues, and screaming children dictating their wishes to Santa Claus. With plenty of humor, we encounter human peculiarities, banal situations, and profound stories. A satire about consumerism, Christmas hypocrisy, and the absurdities of modern holiday rituals. This entertaining evening looks at Christmas with a wink and plenty of music. 

Confessions of a Christmas Elf

Reithalle

A story about growing up and becoming an adult, about feeling "very big and very small," about encounters with the unfamiliar, and the question: Who am I when I'm constantly changing? Lewis Carroll, a mathematician by profession, sends little Alice on a journey full of unpredictable twists and turns and logical contradictions in his magnum opus. The fantastically crazy creatures she encounters in Wonderland—the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, and the egg-shaped Humpty Dumpty—are cult figures. Director Nikolas Darnstädt stages "Alice" as a musical adventure about the power of imagination: As long as we dream and tell each other stories, we continually discover that the world could be completely different. Like Darnstädt, costume designer Laura Kirst is also working in Aachen for the first time. For set designer Sina Manthey, however, it's a reunion; she previously created the magical underwater worlds for the family play "The Fisherman and His Wife." The soundtrack and original songs are provided by actor-musician Malcolm Kemp.

Alice in Wonderland

Theater Aachen

"Hansel and Gretel" is one of the most exciting stories of German Romanticism, contained in the famous collection of fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. In the unsurpassed musical setting by the late Romantic composer Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921), it is also one of the most beautiful—for many, even "the" most beautiful—fairytale operas in all of musical literature. It appeals to both adult and young audiences and has provided many a first unforgettable operatic experience.

This ballad, which became popular worldwide as a standalone piece through pop stars, jazz singers, and chansoniers, is the beginning of one of the most striking plays of the 20th century. When Bertolt Brecht wrote the text with Elisabeth Hauptmann in 1928 as an adaptation of John Gay's baroque London "Beggars' Opera," he could hardly have imagined that a classic of epic theater would emerge that would become a permanent fixture in repertoires.

A bold local cast takes the stage in What the Constitution Means to Me, a sharp, funny, and deeply moving play that reimagines America’s founding document through the eyes of a teenage debater.

Created by playwright Heidi Schreck—who funded her college education winning constitutional debates—this

Tony-nominated hit explores how the Constitution has shaped generations of women. Called “the most important” Broadway play of the season by The New York Times, it’s powerful, personal, and unmissable.

What the Constitution Means to Me

The Theatre at Baranco

On board a luxurious cruise under the heat of the Egyptian sun, a couple’s idyllic honeymoon is cut short by a brutal murder. As secrets that have been buried in the sands of time finally resurface, can the world-famous detective, Hercule Poirot, untangle the web of lies and solve another crime?

Following the sell-out tour of Murder on the Orient Express, this thrilling production reunites writer Ken Ludwig, director Lucy Bailey (Witness for the Prosecution) and Fiery Angel.

Death on the Nile

The Totality of All Things

Louisiana State University

A charming devil strolls into the quiet village of Edmonton, ready to strike a deal—your soul in exchange for your deepest desire. Easy enough. But when he sets his sights on Elizabeth, long ostracized as a “witch,” she refuses to be bought. Darkly funny, subversive, and razor-sharp, Witch is a wickedly modern take on a Jacobean drama, where power is up for grabs, survival is a gamble, and the devil might just be the most honest one in the room. Don’t miss the Toronto premiere of Jen Silverman’s critically acclaimed play.
