*PLEASE NOTE: THE RIGHTS OF THE PLAY ARE STILL PENDING SO THIS IS MORE OF AN OPEN AUDITION, RATHER THAN A SPECIFIC PLAY.

TO AUDITION FOR THIS SHOW YOU NEED TO BE BETWEEN 18 AND 45 YEARS OF AGE.

OR LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE THAT AGE RANGE. HAS TO DO WITH THE VISION WE HAVE IN MIND FOR THE PLAY.

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.
