Standing ovations for "The Streets of Wedding" in Cologne
March 12, 2008.
Cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd of 700, the students from the Ernst-Schering-Oberschule in Berlin-Wedding gave a riveting performance of the "The Streets of Wedding" on March 12 at the Theater am Tanzbrunnen in Cologne. Directed by Berlin-based American choreographer and composer Todd Fletcher, the musical presented engaging scenes from the life in Wedding as seen through the eyes of its young residents, and delivered uplifting messages of hope, opportunity, and achievement-orientation. The host and driving force behind the evening, Jeane von Oppenheim of the Cologne-based Amerika Haus e.V. North Rhine Westphalia, and Ambassador and Mrs. Timken joined the audience in a standing ovation for the young performers and their team and thanked all who made this unique project such a success.
