When Love Life Becomes a Full-Time Comedy
Four women, four newspaper ads and a lot of men who should have better kept their shoes on: Are They Really Serious! brings a turbulent comedy based on Marc Camoletti to the stage of the Oststadt Theater Mannheim on October 24, 2026.
Women's Chaos with Perfect Timing
Under one roof, each of the four women is looking for her very own dream man - however, for very different purposes. What follows is not a romantic stroll, but a fast-paced game of mistaken identities with witty dialogues, quirky encounters, and an audience reaction that escalates from scene to scene.
Men's Antics and Bare Feet
The unsuspecting gentlemen find themselves in a charming yet ruthless web of expectations, misunderstandings, and surprising twists. When men are stripped down to their underwear and bare feet suddenly take on a central role, the definition of a dream guy shifts completely.
Dialect, Boulevard, and Stage Presence
The production combines classic boulevard comedy with dialect humor, rapid interaction, and precise timing. The ensemble includes, among others, Katja Sessig as Jacqueline Schmitt, Silke Eberhard as maid Bitsie, Jutta Barié-Scholl as Georgina von Schaum, Eva Berlejung as Janine Mai, and Sören Messing as Spartacus. Directed by Felicitas Hadzik.
Michael Hördt also appears on stage as marriage candidate Bodo Bächlein. The versatile actor has been part of the Oststadt Theater since its inception and has been featured in more than 24 comedies, musical revues, and children’s theater plays.
A Laughing Experience with Intermission
The performance lasts about two hours including a 20-minute intermission. The theater hall is equipped with fresh air supply, while the comedy atmosphere is created in the classic way: through witty dialogues, visible joy of performance, surprising role changes, and the collective laughter of an audience taking a break from everyday life for an evening.
Conclusion
Are They Really Serious! promises a cheerful theater evening full of woman power, men's antics, and chaotic love plans. Those who love boulevard comedy, dialect, and quick punchlines will experience a laughing experience with a high factor of confusion at the Oststadt Theater Mannheim.
