History
The Männergesangverein Hochstadt was founded on 7 October 1949. It celebrated its 50th anniversary on 27–28 November 1999 with a friendship concert in the Freizeitheim, attended by about 200 guests and by choirs from Oberpfaffenhofen, Weßling and Unterbrunn, and a festive mass in the Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche.[3] Since its founding the club has been devoted to choral singing, folk music and lay theatre.[1]
A Theaterabend planned for 2020, Nebelreißn by Ralph Wallner, was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] In 2026 the group announced that a planned production could not go ahead because three cast members had dropped out.[5]
Repertoire
Since the mid-1990s the theatre group has alternated between a Theaterabend with a full-length play and a Dorfabend (village evening) with shorter pieces. Its repertoire consists largely of Bavarian folk plays and one-act plays by Ludwig Thoma and Karl Valentin, alongside works by Johann Nestroy, Felix Mitterer and Fitzgerald Kusz.[6] Reviewing Der Zaun in 2018, the Münchner Merkur praised the set by director Peter Geske but found the play itself thin; the audience in the half-full hall applauded enthusiastically.[7]
