Theater aan het Vrijthof

It may be disputed when the genesis of Theater aan het Vrijthof commenced. Four years are eligible: 1948, 1978, 1981 and 1989. In 1948 the monthly magazine Kunstschouw was established, which presented itself as the official organ of the Maastricht City Theater, the Maastricht Stedelijk Orkest and the Maastricht Art Circle. In the second and third issue, in preparation for the upcoming 160th birthday of the Stadsschouwburg on the 27th of October of that year, the history of theater life in Maastricht was reviewed.
