The "Frünndach" not only features the humorous and heart-warming play "Die Heiden von Kummerw - Alles Müller, oder ... how?" on the program, but also you - our "Frünns"!
The adventures of the villagers of Kummerow provide laughter and good humor, but on this day we would like to give you something back, because you are the key to our success: without your loyalty and enthusiasm, the Darß-Festspiele would not be what it is today. As a thank you, we offer you exclusive insights behind the scenes, personal meetings with the actors and many special activities that are only possible on this day.
This day is our way of thanking you - for your support, your passion and your loyalty! Look forward to an unforgettable experience that puts you as a "Frünn" in the spotlight.

What's going on in Kummerow? Everything seems to revolve around the miller. He beats his horses and mistreats the animals. He cheats the farmers by selling them flour and underpaid grain. He insults the children and threatens to chase Krischan out of the village in the village council. It soon becomes clear to the children: the miller must leave Kummerow. But how? The "heathens of Kummerow" naturally come up with lots of funny and cheeky pranks to keep annoying the miller. Will that be enough to drive him out of Kummerow? Krischan actively helps the children. He also seems to have a good reason for the miller's disappearance. But what is this secret that could even bring the miller to court? The children are desperate to find out. But Krischan remains silent. Will he break his silence to Constable Niemeier and send the miller to prison for good?
