The Mummy: Dinner Theater at Hotel Schwarzer Bär Jena

A turbulent horror-comedy meets culinary excellence: With “The Mummy,” the historic Hotel Schwarzer Bär in Jena transforms into a stage filled with mystery, humor, and gourmet delights.

Spooky-funny drama in the heart of the action

The line between stage and audience blurs as fictional Hollywood director Jack Arnold attempts to revive his stalled career. After countless failures, he bets everything on one card: his new horror flick, “The Mummy,” is to be filmed on original locations. With generously distributed bribes, Arnold secures access to an ancient pyramid that no mortal has entered for centuries—and for good reason.

Instead of a smooth shoot, the filmmaker faces pure chaos. Alongside the antics of his extravagant lead actress, Daisy Donald, and a completely overwhelmed film crew, evil awakens in the depths of the tomb. A dark curse threatens to become reality as a millennia-old creature senses its chance to return. The production relies on humorous entanglements, fast-paced dialogue, and delightful goosebump moments that offer top-tier entertainment even for the faint of heart.

A combination of culinary arts and theater

The highlight of this format is the harmonious blend of interactive stage art and fine gastronomy. As the drama surrounding the film crew and the resurrected being unfolds, guests are served a sophisticated 4-course menu between scenes. Guests can sit back and relax, following the performance up close or experiencing the adventure as part of the living scenery.

The concept stylistically follows popular theater evenings, such as the successful play Dracula: Horror Dinner at Hotel Schwarzer Bär Jena, which already thrilled audiences with a similarly gripping combination of suspense and menu courses. Fans of gripping evenings in the style of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde: Dinner Theater in Jena will also find first-class entertainment here.

Historic flair at the traditional Schwarzer Bär

The Hotel Schwarzer Bär in the heart of the Thuringian university city provides the perfect setting for this event series. With its centuries-old history, the venue combines Jena tradition with first-class hospitality. The festive hall ensures an intimate atmosphere where the actors can interact directly, and every seat guarantees the best view of the action.

Anyone looking for an extraordinary cultural experience in Jena will find the ideal mix of comedy, horror, and sophisticated dining in this production. The interplay of the characters’ charming self-irony and a dense production promises a thoroughly successful theater evening in the city on the Saale.
