The Dam 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: The Dam 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.”

Follow six short plays through different snapshots in time. You'll see that while changing times affect the characters, some things remain universally the same. Ultimately, it's about people. Some of the pieces will be written specifically for this event, while others may be familiar or adaptations of previously written plays. The individual plays and casts will be announced later this summer, so stay tuned!

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

Acting Club Netherlands

The Cauldron Performing Arts

InPlayers International Drama Group

Park Avenue Theater

Playhouse Theatergroup

Positive Productions
