De Toneelmakerij is Amsterdam’s leading theater company for children and young people. We create bold, high-quality youth theater and accompanying educational programs for all ages.

• You will be involved from start to finish in various performances, primarily for audiences in Amsterdam or school audiences. 
• Maintain existing relationships and establish new ones with (potential) partners, such as community organizations, educational institutions, theaters, and the press. In doing so, you’ll be curious and actively seek out new audience groups we hadn’t yet considered. 
• You are familiar with the city of Amsterdam, its various districts, and community organizations. 
• You will organize, welcome, and guide groups during our public programs. 
• Conducts audience research and data collection.

That is why we are always looking to build the most diverse workforce possible, both in our artistic teams and in our office. We value having as many different voices as possible within our organization. We therefore encourage everyone to apply for this position, regardless of where you come from, what you do or do not believe, how you identify, or whom you love.
