Drop in
*Free = Pay What You Thought It Was Worth. Suggested donation: €10-20. We appreciate that some can offer more than others, you are always welcome no matter what you can share. We use the donations for the rent of the training room and for the guest trainers.
We come together on Fridays to play improv theatre in English. We are internationals (expats, students) and Dutch people who like to play in English. All levels are welcome. There is always a healthy mix of beginners and regular experienced players. Please sign up in advance on this spreadsheet.
We play games like "Whose line is it anyway?" And "De Lama's" alongside some more serious improv scenes too.
The trainers are organised by Marieke van Laar ([email protected]). Our regular trainers include professionals such as: Marieke Van Laar (NL), Steven Morgan (UK), Burgert Kirsten (SA), Jenny Hasenack (NL) and Mathijs van Wingerden (NL).
