A Town Hall Becomes a Stage: Two Mayors for a Hallelujah in Amberg
Free admission, big laughs guaranteed: The comedy Two Mayors for a Hallelujah by Carsten Schreier comes as a cheerful theatrical experience to the Upper Palatinate. The Edelsfeld 007 Theater Association brings this town hall farce with pointed wordplay, pace, and lovingly drawn characters to Amberg.
What it’s about: Bureaucratic Obstacles Meet Office Environment
At the center is an overwhelmed town hall chief, whose office becomes a powder keg: secretary, janitor, a resolute citizen, and his own family push him into a corner with small pricks. When a ladder comes into play during preparations for a high church visit, the situation turns grotesque – a perfect setup for situational comedy in three acts, all in the tradition of the Bavarian play.
Direction with a Sense of Timing
The stage transforms into a detailed office room: mountains of files as props, bell, stamp, and coat rack as motors of comedy. Precise directing relies on concise performances, door-open-door-close choreographies, and the absurd logic of office life. This creates a theatrical atmosphere where acoustics and lighting subtly frame the punchlines – sometimes bright neon, sometimes warm break light.
Dramaturgy: The Dance of Bureaucratic Paths
The dramaturgy plays with role models and provincial politics: office benefit, rumor mill, local pride. Witty dialogues, dialectal colorfulness, and a comedic rhythm that thrives on short pauses ensure audience reactions ranging from relieved laughter to anxious murmurs.
Resonance: Laughter, Applause, Full Audiences
Performances in the southern German region demonstrate the audience potential: amateur theater groups and regional ensembles delighted with sold-out shows and much applause – a sign of content quality, character psychology, and effective punchlines.
Conclusion
Expect a fast, well-measured comedy fireworks with hearty characters, precise acting skills, and pointed directing. An evening that lovingly pokes fun at office life and shines with palpable joy of playing – experiencing it live is worth it.
