Atlas Theater in Emmen in the red, sees corporate opportunities

One of the new cultural additions to Emmen in recent years, the Atlas Theater has yet to achieve much financial success.

By Hans de Preter / Translation by Traci White

The Atlas Theater, located on the Raadhuisplein, is right next door to the entrance to the Wildlands zoo. According to RTV Drenthe, during a presentation of the annual figures from 2017 and plans for 2018, it was made known that the theatre has made a 771,000-euro loss.

Local governments have invested heavily in Emmen in recent years, including a redesign of the Raadhuisplein which won an architectural prize. The Atlas Theater’s presence on the square is meant to provide a cultural impetus to the Drenthe city.

According to director Machteld van der Werff, the theatre had expected to make a loss in its first years of operation. Atlas Theater is projected to have a loss in 2018 as well: 865,000 euros in the red.

The financial loss at the theater will be made up for by profits from Wildlands – the theater is officially part of the park. Van Der Werff says that the theater will focus on more corporate opportunities in the future.
