Theater Heerlen

Theater Heerlen, formerly Stadsschouwburg Heerlen, is the largest theater in the Dutch city of Heerlen and Parkstad Limburg and has been part of the Parkstad Limburg Theaters group since 1999, together with the Theater Kerkrade in Kerkrade. Both theatres have a single programme, which is distributed among the buildings.

In the spring of 2007, the theatre – originally designed by Frits Peutz and opened in 1961 – reopened its doors after a three-year renovation; it now has a large hall (RABOzaal), a small hall (INGzaal) and a central hall (LIMBURGzaal). Among other things, the theatre collaborates with the Cultura Nova Foundation, which organises the ten-day cross-border summer festival Cultura Nova every year.

Theater Heerlen has three halls with a capacity of 1057 (RABOzaal), 362 (LIMBURGzaal) and 142 (INGzaal) seats. In addition, the LIMBURGzaal has a capacity of 1300 standing places.

With its capacity of 1057 seats, the RABOzaal is the largest theatre hall in Limburg.
