The Goggle Club selects one 3. Etage performance a month and teams up with a dramaturg for a relaxed discussion session with audience members.
It’s about chatting freely, with spectators of all ages and levels of knowledge, about audience impressions, approaches, criticisms and perceptions.
There is no linear thread to the sessions; each discussion can be attended in isolation.
World premiere
Tarrytown, New York, 1820. Unusual things are said to be happening at night in a small, sleepy valley of the Hudson River: voices, apparitions, ghosts and worst of all: the spirit of a Hessian mercenary decapitated in the Revolutionary War, a headless horseman! Ichabod Crane, the new schoolmaster who just arrived in town, does not believe in the supernatural, but instead in science and reason, and attempts to get to the bottom of this legend…
House author Philipp Löhle‘s latest production for the Staatstheater explores a short story by Washington Irving, one of the most famous tales in the American literary canon. Comedy specialist Christian Brey crafts a terrifying – and very funny – horror tableau for his seventh work in Nuremberg.

Press reviews
Donaukurier
„Hollywood-Time im Schauspielhaus des Staatstheaters Nürnberg! Am Freitagabend kam dort das Grusical „Die Legende von Sleepy Hollow“ heraus, gefolgt von tosendem Schlussapplaus. Hausautor Philipp Löhle und Regisseur Christian Brey bastelten nach ,Orbit – Geschichte einer Band‘ mit Ehrgeiz an ihrem nächsten Serienerfolg.“
Donaukurier
Die Deutsche Bühne
„Hausautor Philipp Löhle hat Washington Irvings Erzählung ,Die Legende von Sleepy Hollow‘ (1820 in seinem ,Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon‘ erschienen) zu einem szenischen Kessel mit Süßem und Saurem umgeschrieben, bei dem die Parole lautet: Kopf oder Kürbis - Hauptsache schrill!“
