Drama and theatre classes in Amsterdam
235 classes at 28 places, each with the line from the school’s own website.
Theatre in Amsterdam: 235 classes at 28 theatre schools and groups. Most of them are on Wednesday and Saturday, and 78 start at 17:00 or later, nicely after school. Ages run from 2 to 26, so there is something for the little ones as well as for older children, and 41 classes welcome grown-ups too. Prices are written in different ways: in the middle of the range about €245 for a whole course, and at other places about €555 a season — so compare what one term covers.
6 classes cost nothing at all. 12 classes are taught in English or with English help, which is good to know if Dutch is still new at home. Not every school writes everything down: 26 don’t give an age and 47 don’t give a time. We say so on the card instead of guessing. Every line comes from the school’s own page, with the date we last checked it. Pick two that fit your week and go and have a look.
