ORGANIZATION

Theatre Embassy is a small organization with a staff of 5 and a board. The staff consists of a business leader, an artistic director and a program manager. 

In the projects, we work with many independent theatre makers in the Netherlands and abroad, and of course, with our growing partner organizations. 

In addition to the staff and the board, Theatre Embassy is advised by a group of experienced professionals in the Dutch cultural field, our so-called Cultural Ambassadors. Moreover, the Southern Advisory Board, consisting of representatives of various partner organizations, plays an important role in shaping and guiding the policies of Theatre Embassy.
