The '''MGV D'Riedberger Hochstadt e. V.''' is a choral society with an amateur theatre group in Hochstadt, part of the municipality of [[wikipedia:Weßling|Weßling]] in the district of [[wikipedia:Starnberg (district)|Starnberg]], Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1949 as a [[wikipedia:Men's chorus|male voice choir]] (''Männergesangverein'', MGV), it comprises a men's choir, a mixed choir and a lay theatre group, which performs in the Freizeitheim Hochstadt.<ref name="verein" /><ref name="anfahrt" />

== 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.<ref name="merkur1999" /> Since its founding the club has been devoted to choral singing, [[wikipedia:Folk music|folk music]] and lay theatre.<ref name="verein" />

A ''Theaterabend'' planned for 2020, ''Nebelreißn'' by Ralph Wallner, was cancelled because of the [[wikipedia:COVID-19 pandemic in Germany|COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref name="presse" /> In 2026 the group announced that a planned production could not go ahead because three cast members had dropped out.<ref name="stueck" />

== 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 [[wikipedia:Ludwig Thoma|Ludwig Thoma]] and [[wikipedia:Karl Valentin|Karl Valentin]], alongside works by [[wikipedia:Johann Nestroy|Johann Nestroy]], Felix Mitterer and Fitzgerald Kusz.<ref name="chronik" /> Reviewing ''Der Zaun'' in 2018, the ''[[wikipedia:Münchner Merkur|Münchner Merkur]]'' praised the set by director Peter Geske but found the play itself thin; the audience in the half-full hall applauded enthusiastically.<ref name="merkur2018" />
