Ronit Palache (auteur en journalist) en Corine Koole (idem, bekend van oa Volkskrant Magazine en LINDA.) dagen onbekende mensen uit de stad en de buurt uit om hun levensverhaal te vertellen.
In 1993, Boom Chicago introduced improvisation comedy to a mainstream Dutch audience. Since then, Boom Chicago has grown into the influential and innovative international theater company it is today.
After 16 years on the Leidseplein, Boom Chicago moved to the beautiful Rozentheater in 2013. This historic venue, in the heart of the Jordaan, opened in 1913 as the first mega movie theater in Amsterdam with 1000 seats (earlier and bigger than Tuschinski). The location has always had a cultural purpose with different names over time, such as the Asta Theater (1926), De Capitol (1948) , and the Mickery theater (1972).
In the past seven years Boom Chicago has turned this monumental building into an inspiring, cultural hotspot for international creativity. Now Boom Chicago is adding local Dutch-language programming to the agenda under the name Boom Amsterdam: creative productions for Amsterdammers, by Amsterdammers.
Due to the Corona crisis, financial cutbacks or worse, a lot of cultural activities no longer have a place in the city or they have to rethink their approach. Boom Chicago wants to offer these productions a new home under the Boom Amsterdam umbrella. We are excited to announce our first creative productions starting in September (all events are in Dutch).
