Revue
For over 50 years does a big group of engineers and architects a spectacle where we can laugh with all our profs. Therefore, we combine theatre, dance and live music. The script is handwritten, the décor is handmade, the costumes are sewed, the dances are created by us and even the music parts are recomposed by us! Different subgroups work together to create the result. You want to be seen? Join Actors, Music+ (singing) and dance. Afraid of the stage, join the crew behind the scenes. The groups of writing, décor, textile, promo, catering, technique, or IT will more than welcome you. Besides that, we do plenty of intern teambuilding’s like a Christmas party, a cantus … All of this is done in Dutch.
