🎭 MEET SARAH 🎭
Young. Ambitious. Determined.
Sarah visits her Aunt Diana regularly at Bayview Retirement Village—and she never quite knows what to expect.
Loyal, caring, and endlessly patient, she does her best to keep up with Diana's rebellious spirit and unconventional outlook on life.
Between work, relationships, and family responsibilities, Sarah often finds herself caught between concern for her aunt and admiration for her fierce independence.
Can Sarah keep Diana out of trouble? Or will Diana convince her that life is meant to be lived on your own terms?
One thing's for certain: whenever Sarah visits Bayview, things are never dull!
📍 Brotfabrik Bühne Bonn
📅 17–21 June (Sunday matinee)

🎭 MEET GEOFFREY BALLARD 🎭
Kind-hearted. Well-meaning. Hopelessly outmatched.
Geoffrey Ballard loves his father, Tom, and genuinely wants what's best for him. Unfortunately, Geoffrey isn't exactly known for his ability to stand up for himself—or anyone else.
Caught between his concern for Tom and the overwhelming influence of his larger-than-life wife, Geoffrey often finds himself trying to keep the peace rather than fighting for what he believes in. In fact, it's largely his wife's insistence that Tom should no longer be living at home that has landed him in Bayview Retirement Village in the first place.
His good intentions are never in doubt, but turning those intentions into action is another matter entirely!
Come and meet Geoffrey and the rest of the unforgettable residents and visitors of Bayview Retirement Village in Waiting for God.

Thanks to the General Anzeiger for publishing an article about our upcoming summer production of "Waiting for God"

Die Bonn Players spielen in der Beueler Brotfabrik die Komödie „Waiting for God“. Darin beschäftigen sie sich mit dem Älterwerden und allem, was dazugehört. Auch mit S*x.

🎭 **Don't miss Circe!** 🎭

Following a successful opening night yesterday, Circe by Circe Theatre and the BUSC continues its run at the Brotfabrik Bühne Bonn—and tonight, a group of Bonn Players members will be there to support our talented friends and fellow thespians **Chris Weber** and **Becky Dasenbrook**.

The Bonn Players knocked it out of the ball park over the Whit weekend at FEATS in the Hague in the Netherlands. The weather was amazing and definitely added to the good mood as representatives from all over Europe met to enjoy 4 days of theatre in the English language. We met old and made some new friends. Mainly, we were just blown away by the exceptional level of performances we watched, usually around 7 one-act plays per day. Our thanks go to the AATG for their excellent organization of this event, which ran smoothly from start to finish.

🎭 Supporting the future of community theatre in Bonn 🎭

The Bonn Players are proud to announce that we have donated €500 to the Förderverein Brotfabrik Bühne Bonn to purchase a new stage block for the theatre, as part of their “40 stage blocks in their 40th year” initiative.

We are thrilled to support the continuation of affordable and accessible theatre in Bonn and to help ensure that community groups can continue performing in a wide variety of languages for audiences across the region.

We hope this gesture will inspire others within the theatre community — as well as audience members who value and enjoy community theatre at the Brotfabrik Bühne Bonn — to support this wonderful cultural space in any way they can.

Long live live theatre in Bonn! ✨

Meet Basil — the Bayview Retirement Village stud! 😎

He may not say very much, but Basil certainly knows how to make an impression. Bayview’s resident heartthrob proves that charm, confidence, and a twinkle in the eye don’t disappear with age.

Catch Basil and the wonderfully eccentric residents of Bayview in "Waiting for God" from 17–22 June at the Brotfabrik Bühne Bonn.
