Grade 7 Theater Workshop: Who can do something like that?

Who could possibly do something like that?

Young actors and actresses in 7th grade can do that. They can tell entertaining stories of their own, create a wide variety of characters who bring these stories to life, and reliably slip into their roles, entertaining the audience brilliantly with wordplay, theatrical performances, and plenty of surprises. This is exactly what happened in the performances by all four 7th-grade classes as part of the theater workshop on May 7 and 8.

 

We got a glimpse of a dangerous school day where a dog was causing trouble (“Pipi, Piss Off” by Class 7c). “Werewolf” became a game that went beyond the boundaries of a children’s game (“The Werewolves Among Us,” Class 7a), Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, and other fairy-tale characters boldly traveled back and forth through time, with plenty of predictable twists and turns (“Once Upon a Time” by Class 7b), and finally, there was an entertaining talent show featuring hilarious dancers, a dazzling three-generation band, and one of those worldly-wise scientists who, after all, has something dangerous up his sleeve—including the usual strong clichés in the jury members (“Who can do something like that?” by Class 7i).

The audience enjoyed excellent entertainment and warm hospitality from the Class of ’13 and responded with warm, well-deserved applause. Thus, another Theaterworkshop season came to a very joyful and satisfying conclusion.

Many thanks to everyone involved, both on stage and behind the scenes. For cast lists and additional information, see the program: Theaterwerkstatt. Flyer. 2026
