PANTO CHORUS AUDITIONS POSTPONED!
Due to unprecedented demand, we have had to make the very difficult decision to cancel the chorus auditions this Sunday at the Warehouse! With over 70 people signed up for the chorus so far - and our magnificent (but MASSIVE!) panto set already built and in place at the Warehouse - we have realised that it will be physically impossible to safely fit everyone into the available space. The first chorus rehearsal on Sunday 7th of September (Dance Studio in the Warenar, Wassenaar - info to follow soon) will now be a combined audition and first rehearsal.

Following four performances at the Kunsthut in early April, the True West team staged one last show at Mike’s Badhuistheater in Amsterdam. Actors Jimmy Finch, Hans Holsen, Henri Colens and Megan Walch really delivered the goods and earned their acting spurs with this one. Thanks to all who made the show possible. Sadly though, True West is now… toast.
