Het Nationale Theater - Zaal 3
The National Theatre in The Hague is the largest touring theatre company in the Netherlands and stages productions across the country. It is the only national theatre organisation to stage productions for all ages. The National Theatre has three venues in The Hague: the Koninklijke Schouwburg, Theater aan het Spui and Zaal 3.
Room 3 is the most surprising venue at Het Nationale Theater, situated in the cultural hub of the Energiekwartier in The Hague, surrounded by the Nest art space and the DCR creative hub. In Zaal 3, emerging artists can experiment and, together with visitors, arrive at surprising new insights and fascinating results. The focus is on theatre and performance, with crossovers into visual arts, music, poetry and philosophy. Key themes include projects from the LGBTQIA+ community and creators of colour.
In Theatre 3, there is focus on talent development, showcasing work by drama students from Arnhem, Utrecht, Amsterdam and Maastricht. Students are given the chance to gain experience and, perhaps even more importantly, to find an audience for their performances. Conversely, as a member of the audience, you’ll get to know these talents in a surprising way, contribute to the growth of new careers and follow their journey to larger venues up close.
