The municipality of Emmen is looking for a successor for Theater School Loods13. Alderman Dewy Keen (Wakker Emmen) says it is important to find that there is something to offer for young people in that area.
Last week it was announced that Loods13 indicated after thirteen years. The upcoming season will be completed, after which the plug will go out on 1 August. Loods13 definitively leaves Emmen and will settle elsewhere, director Eva Wortmann said last week.
The school ran into problems after the loss of a national subsidy. In the past two years, the municipality and the theater also about the subsidies. The municipality of Emmen announced a cost and benefit study at the end of last year, with regard to a reasonable contribution for the theater. But Loods13 decided not to wait.
The D66 and 50Plus political groups therefore asked questions about the how and why, but also the follow -up regarding the decision of the theater school. Alderman Keen announced that he was surprised by the decision. “We had set a course together and we thought everyone could agree with it.”
But during an official conversation mid -January, the monkey came up. Keen therefore wants to look for an alternative. “I think it is important that there is a youth theater in Emmen.”
