This time’s theme: A more or less “poor little old lady” can no longer stand by and watch her daughter’s bitter divorce battle. She decides to seek help from the criminal underworld to help her daughter keep the children. What will come of this?
We want to develop our play loosely based on real events—writing dramatic scenes, assigning roles... but also thinking more freely. We will work together on choral speech, musical interludes, choreography, and much more. In July, we will perform the result of the semester twice (July 16 and 17, 2026)
The play will loosely explore the highly publicized custody battle surrounding Christina Block, the heiress to the Blockhaus fortune and a multimillionaire. The press has been following the case for years. It would be great if you could read a little about the case before the first rehearsal.
If this all sounds appealing to you, then get in touch! The application deadline is April 9, 2026—you’ll find detailed information below.
We look forward to hearing from you!
