"It's All About the Cash - Time's Running Out": Criminal-Minded Golden Girls Make Their Move
Rebooting Wishes: Experiences reshape life's dreams, as Lilli, Meta, and Carla discover in the Ohnsorg Theater's "Time is Money - Now or Never." This comedic production is the theater's final hurrah before the summer break, and it doesn't disappoint!
After scraping together every penny for eight years, the friends have their sights set on a luxurious cruise. Short on funds but long on determination, they resort to various unorthodox methods to secure their dream vacation. Lilli, the charming flirt, borrows from her daughter Flora. Hypochondriac Meta steals from her son Bruno. And Carla sells goods she acquires during the day at the shopping center to her elderly friends Erwin and Kütte at night.
A Piggy Bank of Ambition
The friends' travel fund takes the form of a gigantic swine figurine on stage, representing their shared dream and serving multiple purposes, such as a supermarket shelf or a piggy bank.

The distinctive living conditions of the belligerent friends are explored in a series of engaging, brief scenes. As the simple crime comedy gains momentum, the highpoint of the production is undoubtedly the bank robbery scene. In their wheelchairs, the trio attempts to reclaim their stolen savings in a hilarious heist. Ultimately, what do they have to lose but time?
It's a delight to watch the talented ensemble, led by three phenomenal "Golden Girls."
