The Laramie Project
November 13 - 23
KIT LIVE
Linnaeusstraat 2A
1092 CK Amsterdam
An OTC original adaptation of The Laramie Project - a moving, urgent, and physical take on this powerful true story about Matthew Shepard’s death and the response of his town, Laramie. The Laramie Project is an American theatre classic, staged in NL for the first time!
​
In October 1998, Matthew, a 21-year-old University of Wyoming student, was tied to a fence on the prairie outside Laramie, beaten, robbed, and left to die, targeted simply because he was gay. His murder drew worldwide attention, sparking urgent conversations about hate, violence, and discrimination.
In the aftermath, Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie, interviewing over 200 residents to create a theatrical portrait of a community grappling with the unthinkable. Out of their words and experiences came The Laramie Project; a groundbreaking work that confronts hatred and reveals the depths of humanity and compassion in an ordinary town.
​
Directed by Shane Dempsey, adapted by Kiefer Lloyd.​

Tiny Theatre - Monologues Live!
Vol 6. Metamorphosis
August 27 at 19.30
At Roest in Amsterdam!
Shed your skin. Grow wings. Or maybe just better boundaries.
OTC's Tiny Theatre – Monologues Live! returns with Metamorphosis, a curated night of bold, original monologues performed live by actors. These aren’t just stories, they’re mini plays with big impact.
From over 80 submissions, we’ve selected the 9 most compelling monologues, each one chosen for how powerfully (or playfully) it explores this volume's theme: metamorphosis.
Funny, fearless, a little feral - or completely unexpected - every monologue reveals a transformation. Because nothing is fixed, and ‘change’ is the verb.
Whether you’re a creative, a theatre-lover, or just someone who enjoys a good story well told, this night promises metamorphosis in all its forms.​

Venus in Fur
December '24 - February '25
KIT Live
This Tony Award-winning play, written by David Ives, is a sexy, dark comedy that offers a provocative and witty exploration of submission, power, and control. The plot unfolds in a single setting: a rehearsal room. Playwright-director Thomas Novachek is frustrated after a long day of unsuccessful auditions when actress Vanda Jordan arrives to audition for a role in Thomas’ new play. Vanda, seemingly unsuited for the role, proves to be remarkably well-prepared as the audition progresses, embodying the character with uncanny precision. The lines between reality and fiction blur as they delve deeper into the script. Venus in Fur is directed by Lora Mander, with Eli Thorne as Thomas Novacheck, and Sairah Erens as Vanda Jordan.
Performances: Feb 13 at 20.00 (including champagne reception and Q&A) // Feb 14 at 20.00 // Feb 15 at 14.00 and 20.00
Age recommendation: 14+
Running time: 1 hour and 40 minutes without intermission
Location: KIT LIVE, Linnaeusstraat 2A, 1092 CK Amsterdam
