DISCO! brings color, music, and children's laughter to the stage
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the theater in the garage in Erlangen will transform into a dazzling disco paradise for children aged 3 and above. DISCO! tells a colorful and humorous story about prejudices, courage, and the freedom to choose colors and clothing for oneself.
When a pink nightgown causes excitement
Eddie and the other children just want to have a disco. But when a boy appears in pink, the kindergarten gets out of rhythm. Eddie's dad reacts angrily, the teacher starts to sweat, and disputes and misunderstandings arise among the children as well.
The production shows in a child-friendly way how prejudices arise and how a community finds its way back together. The young audience encounters a topic from their own world: Every person can decide for themselves what feels beautiful, right, and appropriate.
A colorful learning experience for the whole family
DISCO! combines theater, music, and movement with an age-appropriate engagement on diversity. Children experience that differences are natural and that shared time becomes especially beautiful when everyone is included.
The production is based on the picture book by Frauke Angel and Julia Dürr and was adapted for the stage by Stefan Behrendt. Stefan Behrendt and Melanie Kuch from the field of theater communication are developing the production for a very young audience. The immediate atmosphere of the studio stage creates closeness and allows for curious watching, wonder, and excitement.
Experienced team and child-friendly design
On stage are Kai Götting and Hermann Große-Berg. Direction is by Stefan Behrendt, with stage and costumes designed by Mareile Krettek, who has worked at numerous renowned theaters in the German-speaking world. The music is by Thomas Tichai, and dramaturgy is handled by Melanie Kuch.
This creates an intense theater experience for families with clear images, musical impulses, and a story that takes children seriously. The performance is recommended for children aged 3 and up and targets families who want to combine culture, fun learning, and shared experiences.
A special place for little theater fans
The theater in the garage is a studio stage with an intimate atmosphere. The performance space is located in a former carriage house of the margrave's palace and features flexible seating that can be adapted to the respective play. This keeps the events particularly close and manageable for the young audience.
Conclusion: Bringing the disco to life together
DISCO! gifts families a colorful theater afternoon full of music, curiosity, and children's laughter. The story invites discussions about diversity, self-determination, and fair coexistence. Anyone looking for a warm, entertaining, and educational family experience will find a stage in Erlangen on September 27, 2026, where in the end, only one thing matters: having a disco together!
