The Hamburg Players’ improv group will be part of Theaternacht Hamburg together with the other groups performing at Theater an der Marschnerstraße.

The running order will be repeated over the course of the evening until shortly before midnight:

• Im Fenster, drama by Gerhard Weber

• Sophie, drama by Roos Ouvehand

• Krach in Chiozza, comedy by Carlo Goldoni

• De doden Ogen vun Altona, crime story after Edgar Wallace (in “Platt”)

• Hamburg Players Improv Group

Theaternacht (Long Night of the Theatre) is the annual event launching the upcoming season, with 33 theatres participating throughout the city.

Tickets for Theaternacht are available online.

No set, no props – not even a script. That’s what improv theatre is like. Relying solely on their presence of mind and on the audience's suggestions, the Hamburg Players' improv team creates entertaining short scenes on the spot (in English).

The improv group exists independently of the three full-length theatre productions (all of them in English) brought to Marschnerstraße stage by the Hamburg Players each season.

At this audition for our May play (performance dates for Stepping Out are between 14 and 24 May), director Mathilde Berry is looking at three roles in particular:

• Rose (age: 30+): in the script, she is Afro-Caribbean

• Mrs Fraser (age: 50+): piano player an advantage

• Maxine (age: 30 to 50): confident dancer

Stepping Out is a warm and very funny play about the lives, laughs and loves of a group of women (and one man) attending a weekly tap-dance class in a dingy North London church hall. The grand finale features a triumphant show number.
