In times like these, musical theatre offers a unique view helping us understand why people behave and choose the way we do. Is the witch as bad as she seems? How can a father reject a daughter? Does a kind action truly make a difference? From the safety of stage, we try on different emotions and show transformations happen, sometimes in surprising ways for the singers as well as for the audience. It is said that change begins inside each one of us… all we need is faith as large as a mustard seed. Raising your voices in song helps bring this change, creating possibility, hope and fun for all who join in, as singers and for our audiences.

Co-directed by Hanns Zöllner and Kate Michaels, songs and scenes from the musicals Wicked, West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof will be staged along with songs by pop artist Taylor Swift and famed cabaret writer and conductor David Friedman.

Scheduled performance dates are January 13th, 14th & 28th, 2024 at the Chollerhalle in Zug.

Every second Thursday in the month at 19:00 you are welcome to come along for one of a variety of activities that were suggested by members at the EGM – play readings, improv, line dancing or simply getting together for a drink and a catch-up. We started on Thursday, February 9th with a few one act plays and drinks. Please join us and check out our new meeting place. Past and planned dates:
