Did you know that there used to be a cemetery where Theater Orpheus stands today? Or that the resistance operated a secret phone exchange in Apeldoorn? Have you heard about Lydia, the first teen idol of the Netherlands, and her band, The Melody Strings? These fascinating stories, and others, come to life in English Theater Apeldoorn’s play, Meanwhile in Apeldoorn.

Join us this summer at Orpheus for an unforgettable afternoon of entertainment and education, and rediscover the hidden stories of our lovely city.

Please note that this play is in English and promotional photos will be taken during the performance.

These stories are part of Het grote verhaal van Apeldoorn (The great story of Apeldoorn), which is an initiative by CODA, Gemeente Apeldoorn, and Erfgoedplatform Apeldoorn, inspiring each of English Theater Apeldoorn’s short plays.

Orpheus Ghost Tour

It’s 2065. Theater Orpheus is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary. A perfect opportunity to try out the newly invented ghostvision glasses!

So, come on, put your glasses on and let’s go on a ghost hunt tour around the theater building! Orpheus, Princess Mustard, and Robo are going to be your guides as you meet Apeldoorn’s famous ghosts.
But wait, why are these ghosts talking about problems as problems of the past? Aren’t they just today’s problems?
