Dam Drama Collective is a collaboration of English-language theater groups based in Amsterdam. Following the great success of our Variety Theater production last year, we decided to make this a recurring event under our new, official name: Dam Drama Collective.

Each production features a unique theme tying several one-act plays together. The theme for this year’s performance is Time Periods: “Then. Now. Next.”

Our performance

For our performance in the show we will entertain you with a brand new comedy: PERIOD.

Everything has a beginning.

Everything has an ending.

And somewhere in between, something happens.

A little confusion.

A little comedy.

Humans are by nature complicated and connections are unpredictable.

Somewhere between the two, there is comedy.

Join us for it

The following groups will each perform a 15–20 minute short play:

Acting Club Netherlands – Lost and Found

The Cauldron Performing Arts – All the Way Down

InPlayers International Drama Group – The Stronger

Park Avenue Theater – Period.

Playhouse Theatergroup – Sure Thing
