Event Dates and Advance Notices

If I have now sparked your interest in my work and you wish to see my costumes "in motion", you should prebook the following event dates (update: September 2025):

"West Side Story"

Musical based on an idea by JEROME ROBBINS | Book by ARTHUR LAURENTS | Music by LEONARD BERNSTEIN | Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
"I like to be in America" the Sharks, the young immigrant Puerto Ricans sing, expressing the hopes and dreams that they associate with their new home. The rhythm of the song is still rooted in South America while the content is already about the American dream. A shark girl, Maria, falls in love at first sight with Tony, the founding member of the rival Jets, the "Americans" who actually also immigrated, but from Europe and a long time ago and therefore think they can look down on the Sharks. The enmity of the youth gangs becomes fatal for the lovers who, like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, are driven to catastrophe by a hateful environment. Leonard Bernstein brought Shakepeare's fairytale story with fast rhythms and stirring melodies into the here and now of the big city hotspots, where it still touches.

"Cold White Man"

A satire by Dietmar Jacobs und Moritz Netenjakob
Death is never nice. But there could be worse than falling asleep peacefully at the age of 94: For example, attending a funeral that gets completely out of hand. Gernot Steinfels, patriarch of a company belonging to the old German mid-sized class, has passed away, and his designated successor, Horst Bohne (60), is organizing the funeral for the company. But his text on the ribbon causes considerable irritation: "In deep mourning. Your employees." The new "old white man" at the top quickly finds himself opposed not only by his marketing director, his social media manager, and his secretary, but also by his very self-confident intern. In this highly pointed play, the company's management team increasingly tears itself apart before the theater audience, who act as a congregation of mourners. And not even the desperate priest can calm the waters. This twist-filled comedy by Dietmar Jacobs and Moritz Netenjakob (EXTRAWURST, among others) depicts, with a sharp eye and gleeful dedication, the abysses, pitfalls, and rhetorical tricks of the current discussion about social norms and their all-too-human causes, but also awakens a longing for attentive and respectful interaction.
With Martin Molitor, Barbara Bach, Lore Richter, Lukas Dittmer, Wolff von Lindenau, and Marianna McAven.

"Cardinal error"

A satirical comedy by Alistair Beaton and Dietmar Jacobs
The ambitious Bishop Glöckner and his diocese present themselves as a role model, clean, with few church departures and absolutely scandal-free. No wonder that the Vatican wants to reward him with the greatest event in the 700-year history of the diocese: a papal visit. But while preparing for the visit, a scandal is brewing. From now on, only one thing applies to the leading people: the scandal must be prevented by all possible means ... A piece that not only entertains, but certainly also provokes – and not only makes the audience laugh according to all the rules of tabloid art, but also leaves the performance with a lot to talk about. After the great and highly praised premiere at the Trier Theatre in 2023, the brand new work is due to go on tour in autumn 2026.
With Gerd Silberbauer, Hans Machowiak, Sebastian Hölz, Katrin Filzen, Susanne Theil and Johannes Lukas.
Director: Kay Neumann

Premiere:    November 3, 2025, Konzert- und Theatersaal Nordhorn
