Eric de Vroedt is artistic leader of the theater company.
Het Nationale Theater was created on 1 January 2017 as a merger of Het Nationale Toneel (a theater company), the Koninklijke Schouwburg (the national theater building) and Theater aan het Spui (the city theater building).[1] These three organizations worked together for several years under the name Toneelalliantie (English: Theatric Alliance), mostly active in The Hague.[1]
Het Nationale Theater produces and presents classic plays, modern drama and actuality based programs, as well as cabaret, dance and music theater. The company is in 2018 one of the eight major theater companies subsidized by the national government and produces both for adults and youngsters (through NTjong). It is the largest traveling theater company from the Netherlands, although the Koninklijke Schouwburg and Theater aan het Spui function as its main locations.
