Our first Christmas family production was a great success!
We played to full houses at every performance and even had to add an extra performance in German. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter (subscribe button below) to be informed about what’s next.
Join us for an evening of musical theater karaoke.
Everyone is welcome – first timers and experienced karaoke singers alike! The bar will be open a half hour before the show begins. If you plan to sing it would be helpful if you could send Robb (robb@captivatebaern.ch) an email with either a link to your backing track on youtube or the backing track file itself. If you’re not so keen on planing ahead, just come along and we’ll find you a backing track on the fly.
Next dates: 10 Apr 2025 at 8 PM / 15 May 2025 at 8 PM / 12 June 2025 at 8 PM
