About
Once a month, the soft pink Bookshop inside the Stadsschouwburg on Leidseplein becomes a story room for kids. Children sit on cushions among the books while an actor from the ITA Ensemble reads a children's book aloud, then they do short theater exercises and end with free play: dressing up, coloring and making up their own stories. It's all in Dutch, so it suits kids who follow spoken Dutch well.
