He did it!!! Klaus Karl-Kraus has written the new Christmas theater play!!!

And it's all about the Christmas madness of the Zirbelhuber-Müller family!
Starring Johanna Wagner-Zangl, Gisela Karl-Kraus, Ralf Ahlborn, and Wolfgang Zangl.
Following the great success of the Christmas play "Crazy Night, Hurried Night," the Zirbelhuber-Müller family is back for the second "Christmas Round." Once again, the determined mother Minna is back - this time with a sock stand at a Christmas market somewhere in Franconia. Her daughter Gisela, who is married to the Prussian Dieter, forever bridging the Franconian and Prussian worlds. And Uncle Fritz, who has a "pub table view" of God and the world.

Matching the Christmas season, the cabaret artist Heinz Gröning will be performing the program "Lost in the Christmas Stollen" on Saturday, December 7th at the Young Theater Forchheim.

A comedy program like Christmas itself. For 19 years, Heinz Gröning, also known as the incredible Heinz, has been celebrating the program "Lost in the Christmas Stollen".

For many people, attending this show has become just as important and indispensable in preparing for the big celebration as having a Christmas tree in the living room and decorative lights on the kitchen window. And every year, the program becomes funnier and funnier and funnier. In his very personal reflection on his own Christmas experiences, everyone can relate who has ever unsuccessfully tried to escape the Christmas festivities.

A Christmas program without compromises. 100% Christmas, 100% Heinz with a deep bow to everything that makes this unique highlight of the year so unmistakable. At Heinz's home, the aunt sings under the Christmas tree, folding the eardrums of the entire family, and the hunchbacked relatives, slightly drunk on the holidays, wreak havoc throughout the entire apartment. Heinz offers professional crib construction at the highest level with simple instructions for the guaranteed funniest stable installation in the entire city, and a Bethlehem shepherd play musical in a show dimension that brings tears of laughter to the entire industry. Oh come, all ye faithful, couldn't get any jollier!!!

Heinz Gröning is the undisputed "Elvis" among singing comedians. In this program, even Christmas grumps can have a delightful time, as he transforms "Oh, come, all ye faithful" into a rock'n'roll version or intones "Mary Went through the Thorny Path" as Herbert Grönemeyer.

Can we still do it?

Or what? Of course, one could immediately follow up with a second question.

Have we now suddenly reached an age where this question is justified? Do we want to prove ourselves once again or compare ourselves to younger ones? Do we seek validation? Neither. We have indeed gotten older, but we are far from old. So, in our anniversary year, we are attempting to present a cross-section of the last 25 years to our audience without dwelling too long in nostalgia. We will revise some things and present them in a new form. But do not worry, the change will only be in the music. Rest assured, you will still recognize us.

Whether we can still do it, you will have to find out for yourself by attending one of our concerts.

The Criminal Dinner 'Bloodbath in the Town Council' - a delicious course menu in a stylish ambience framed by an exciting criminal case at the boathouse in Bamberg.

'Bloodbath in the Town Council'

Imagine a peaceful place in the beautiful Badnerland. Surrounded by rivers, meadows, and hilly landscapes lies Muggenhofen. The village, far from any hustle and bustle of the big city, exciting nightlife, or hectic activities, invites in a persistent tranquility to find one's home there.

Everything has been running with the same consistency for decades, day after day, year after year, until the day when the universally respected head of the municipality, the mayor of Muggenhofen, is found murdered.
A murder in Muggenhofen? And then the mayor as well? Police chief inspector Gustav Heberlein is faced with a puzzle. With his suitcase typewriter and his lunchbox, he sets out to search for the murderer. Could it be someone from the ranks of the close-knit village community? Was it perhaps an outsider, a newcomer, or even a local resident? What does Eulalia Schreiblinger have to do with the story, and how involved is she in the machinations of the town council?

The course menu is created and served by the boathouse. The Crime Dinner will open at 5 p.m., promising excitement for both the nerves and the palate. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

Doors Open: 6:30 p.m. / Menu and play are included in the price / Table and seat assignments will be made on-site

The old Scrooge is an incorrigible miser. Christmas is nothing but a nuisance to him. On Christmas Eve, the spirit of his former partner Marley appears, who was once a miser himself and now bitterly regrets it. That night, Scrooge is visited by the spirit of Christmas past, present, and yet to come, causing him to change his life fundamentally.

The Christmas story by Charles Dickens with Wolfgang Zangl as Ebenezer Scrooge and the TaM Ensemble.

Doors open at 3:00 PM

There may still be tickets available at the box office

The Franconian cabaret artist Klaus Karl-Kraus draws from his own childhood memories around Christmas and simultaneously shows our current perception of the Christmas celebration: from the string-light madness of our sleep suburbs to the gift turbo stress every year.
He asks the men in the audience if there is anyone here today who has "ever brought a nice Christmas tree from the market?"
He recalls the Christmas of his childhood: crafting a Martin's lantern, being afraid of St. Nicholas, laughing at the Protestant "softy," the Pelzermärtl.
Christmas Bunch, Bläddzlabaggn: join him on their very own Christmas memory evening and at the end of the night? Christmas is still the most beautiful festival there is – Klaus Karl-Kraus shows you how!

Culinary enjoyment and thrills: Guests at TURM MAINZ in Mainz are in for a treat: Exquisite service, spontaneously staged. The COMEDY Criminal Dinner – a delicious multi-course meal in a stylish ambiance framed by a crime story:

"Testament à la Carte" - a biting testament opening!

Prof. William Chattney is dead. He was a famous scientist. Before the will can be read, the life of the deceased must be reconstructed with the help of the guests. Shouldn't be a problem, except for Detective Johnson. He investigates because Chattney's death is a violent crime.

Who killed Chattney and how? What was he researching? And what secret did he take to the grave? Notary Mr. Green and his loyal assistant Manfred have their hands full: they monitor the surveillance cameras of the estate, read from the future with the help of Herbert Wandschneider, and Dr. Sten-Gelle combines cosmic energy with science just to solve the mystery. In the end, it is Extrem Norbert who, with the audience's support, initiates the turning point.

The actors spontaneously involve the audience in the crime story through their many years of experience as improvisational artists. Culinary delights and entertainment, unpredictable developments, and astonishing twists alternate.

The two actors use various expressive means, play multiple characters, and have a keen sense for the audience. Their enthusiasm knows no bounds and captivates the audience. "The tingling uncertainty and the moment of surprise – both in the audience and on stage - that's what makes the charm".

The tempting multi-course meal is served and created by the kitchen team at TURM MAINZ. The thrill for nerves and palate starts at 7 pm, admission is from 6:30 pm.

Admission: 6:30 pm / Menu and theater piece are included in the price / Table and seat assignments will be made on-site
