Freiheit aushalten!
Like every day, the three natives of "Brittas Drinks Oasis" meet to save the world – at least theoretically: The slightly derailed professor, the single mother Peggy, and Britta, the proud kiosk owner. But today, there are other world savers surrounding them. Because Berlin is totally oversaturated with demonstrations, the revolutionaries have moved to the outskirts. So today, Frankfurt is bubbling! For today is the big demonstration day on the streets of Frankfurt.

Climate activists march against climate deniers, woke enemies meet gender supporters, women’s rights activists and LGBTQ+ advocates, warmongers face peace doves, and vegans confront grill meat fanatics. Police hold their ground, while an outside reporter from Oderbruch-TV loses track. But whether they are opponents of cultural cuts, chemtrail warners, or state protectors: they all have thirst! And so the kiosk becomes a secondary battlefield - world salvation between canned beer and sausage.

A cabaret piece by Philipp Schaller and Michael Frowin – in the updated version exclusively for the Oderhähne by Michael Frowin.

Book: Michael Frowin
Direction: Daniel Heinz
With: Armin Sengenberger, Jenny Bins, Madlen Wegner

Was that already sex?
(The Father Edition) or Fritjof Nansen and I
Comedy by Stefan Schwarz

On this theater evening you will experience countless stories of a stressed family father who faces daily strains. He would prefer to master them lightly, but he always fails spectacularly, only to then step confidently into the next social faux pas. The little problems become the elephant in the room, and where would there still be room in the bedroom for the increasingly rare love night, which is always interrupted by the whining offspring? In order not to drown in the jungle of family life, the family father relies on pragmatism and a hearty dash of humor.

Guest performance in cooperation with the Uckermärkische Bühnen Schwedt/Oder UBS!

Theater & Musical Workshop "Die Schöne und das Biest"
for children aged 8 and above with the Musical Academy for Children "Treasure Island" from Potsdam

The workshop is not intended as a "talent forge," but should be accessible, feasible, and affordable for ALL children and young people!

The goal of the workshop is to make the genre "musical" or "music theater" an experience for children and young people.
Participants will be taught by professional instructors from the fields of acting, singing, and dance. The talents and strengths of the children and young people are to be individually promoted.

The workshop serves to expand skills and try out new things without performance pressure. In a group of like-minded peers, the self-esteem, expressiveness, and creativity of the children and young people should be developed as much as possible. The focus is on "playing together"!

As part of a small final performance, participants will have the opportunity to present the results to parents, relatives, and friends, and thus "sniff the stage air."

Tue. February 3 to Fri. February 6, 2026 (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM)
Sat. February 7, 3:00 PM Final Show

Love Making
Musical / Youth Play for people aged 13 and over
by Tom van Hasselt

Max and Mara are in the same class and couldn't be more different: Max is passionate about school, especially biology, while Mara dances passionately. Yet both develop feelings for each other and wonder: Is just liking each other enough for the "first time"? It’s really hard to be alone as a couple because their friends Sina and Leon are usually there when they meet. As the first parties take place, Max feels he's not cool enough. Therefore, he organizes a costume party with animal outfits, which doesn't go over well with his classmates... And what does Mara think about that? For Mara, it's time to choose between friendship and infatuation. And then there are the parents, who stress and undermine the young people's interactions. Amidst all the little questions, one big one arises: How does "love making" actually work?

Friedrich II - the Great! - and the Miller of Sanssouci

"The Quadrature of the Gray or A Hearth and a Crown"

Friedrich II - the Great! - leads a carefree existence in Sanssouci Palace, on 1300 square meters, alone, only with his dogs. However, the luxury abruptly ends when one day an eviction notice arrives: The rising housing shortage demands that the King of Prussia make room for those in need. Just then, the king receives the offer from his neighbor, the Miller of Sanssouci, just in time... The clattering mill has always been a thorn in the side of Old Fritz, and its owner even more so, but faced with the threat of homelessness, the king bites the bullet - and moves into the mill house with his best enemy. This puts the already strained neighborhood to yet another hard test...

Cabaret at the edge of the zeitgeist, sarcastic, but always with a lovable attitude and surrounded by royal charm. Prussia has never been this much fun!

Featuring the director of the Uckermärkische Bühnen Schwedt, André Nicke (King) and Antenne Brandenburg moderator, Andreas Flügge (Miller).

Love is in the air
Mini-Revue -
musical, humorous and touching

Love.
You can't live with it, you can't live without it. Especially when you turn away from it for all time, because it has disappointed you too often and too deeply, it attacks you from behind with all its might once again. And you think to yourself once again: What if this time … what if it actually … Nothing is more utopian, promising of happiness, illusory, and beautiful than it, from which humanity ultimately owes its existence and survival.
Reason enough to celebrate it particularly this season and not to give up hope for it.
Because: Love is everything. Especially in turbulent, challenging times.
Therefore, it celebrates – true to the motto of this season – the new DarstellBar musically, humorously and touchingly: Love is in the air …

Hammerfrauen
Das Baumarkt-Musical

Now the last biosphere reserve of the male gender is being conquered by women: In the musical "Hammerfrauen," it's "Ladies Night" at the hardware store!
Tiles are being laid and hammers are being used – and of course, there's plenty of champagne!
The more the sparkling wine flows, the more emotional the DIY projects become, the more life plans are questioned – and by the end of the night, nothing is the same as before.
With charm and wit and life stories that speak to all of our hearts, "Hammerfrauen" hits the nail on the head.
"Hammerfrauen": the musical fun about the eternal cycle of life – of building and tearing down and building and tearing down ...

A young couple just before their wedding: He is the typical hobby handyman – she hasn't told him that she hates DIY projects. Now he has ordered the wedding table at the hardware store and signed her up for "Ladies Night" – and the drama unfolds. Eccentric hardware store customers, a quirky sales duo, and three ladies with vastly different ambitions collide throughout the fast-paced and punchline-rich story.
Accompanied by music that simply lifts the mood.

"Hammerfrauen – Das Baumarkt-Musical" does not cater to the usual man-woman clichés, yet it is still closely connected to the eternal themes of our togetherness. From now on, there will be nailing and chitchatting, grilling and flirting, sipping and teasing.

"Hammerfrauen" was written by the author trio Robert Löhr (book), among others a crime scene author, Bavarian Television Award winner, and international bestseller author; Benedikt Eichhorn (music), who has won nearly all notable cabaret awards with the duo "Pigor & Eichhorn"; and Michael Frowin (lyrics), theater director, cabaret artist, and author for the Comic Opera, Friedrichstadtpalast, and the Luxembourg Philharmonic.

Cast: Saskia Dreyer, Sabrina Pankrath, Madlen Wegner, Tim Schultheiss & Conrad Waligura

A play for children aged 4 and up.

Birdsong.

A gentle rustling.

Reeds on the horizon.

A pond.

No frog.

Or is there?

Two even— a frog and a toad— embark on a journey, or should we say, to the pond…, to settle in this beautiful place.

At first rather skeptical of each other, they quickly get to know one another.

Through small, wonderful encounters, they become friends. Will that go well?

A bathing fun in the pond, without getting wet.

A special delight about friendship, longing, gut feeling and head feeling with puppets and people in fins.

Running time: 45 minutes

Jenseits von Germany
A true story

Where have the good old days of "Made in Germany" gone?
The location Germany is on the verge of moving abroad.
For instance, MIELE is moving its refrigerator production coldly from Gütersloh to Lodz.
Vicky Leandros once predicted: "Theo, we're going to Lodz." By the way, this German pop singer came from Greece. Welcome, Vicky! And the Chinese? They've long since stopped relying on Germany. They simply build their German quality work themselves today... after all.

So what? We Germans love to share with the world – only within society do we prefer to divide: right, left, far-right, left of center, and then there's Sahra Wagenknecht.
It's complicated. And what isn't complicated is made complicated – after all, that's what laws are for?
Bureaucracy remains Germany's core competence; no one can outdo us here. Okay, maybe the EU. Although... at the house of Europe, everyone is back to working on their own for now.
The Italians, Swedes, Dutch, Hungarians, Finns, and Slovaks... And us? The great role model in the world – Germany – is really lagging behind in the EU! In economic growth, we rank 26 out of 27 places, and we're the second to last in train punctuality. Find the mistake.
Well... and education, our most important resource? In PISA, we still rank 15th. Fuck! The New York Times wrote: "Forget everything you thought you knew about Germany." Too bad German students can no longer read that.

As you can tell, when it comes to whining, we still have the lead. Only the Bulgarians are even more dissatisfied than we are – man, are they lucky!
