The Place
"Toon Hermans Theater is the theater of Sittard-Geleen. We present an extensive selection of performances, broad and accessible. Youth and family theater is an important pillar. That can hardly be otherwise with such a beautiful house company as Het Laagland. Cabaret and cabaret also receive extra attention."
