Review: SISTER ACT - National Tour, Germany
by André Böke on May 10, 2026
“Sister Act” owes its status as a global phenomenon to the iconic Whoopi Goldberg film, but Alan Menken’s stage version of the beloved Hollywood comedy has long since conquered stages all over the world. In its acclaimed West End incarnation, the musical has already been touring German-speaking venues for a third year, presented by production company Showslot, continuing to fill auditoriums all over the country. Both the linguistic adaptation and the technical realization for touring operations across Germany are flawless. The show is nothing short of a gospel of good fun – hallelujah!

Book Review: STAGE COMBAT: ARMED (RAPIER & DAGGER) by Roger Bartlett, Nick Hern Books
by Cindy Marcolina on Apr 14, 2026
“This book is about portraying a safe and dramatically effective staged fight using rapier and dagger,” so begins Roger Bartlett’s latest volume. From the large-scale battles in The Lord of the Rings to the intimate denouement in a production of Hamlet at your local theatre, stage combat is as essential a character as a protagonist can be. A badly choreographed sword fight can shatter even the tightest dramatic illusion. This is the chance to learn the best technique directly from a Master Teacher who’s accredited with the British Academy of Stage and Screen Combat.
