Free appearances on request, if so wished I can take along my own puppet theatre at every location. No fees except a contribution in transportation costs and instead of fees please donate to the Eye Care Foundation in Amsterdam. Coaches are Joanne Oussoren, managing director of the Dreamtheatre Foundation (www.droomtheater.com) and Frans Hakkemars, councillor NVP-Unima (www.franshakkemars.nl).

poppenspel_2List of possible plays, written by me (to be noted: the “dutch” Jan Klaassen can be compared to the English “Mr. Punch” and his “wife” Katrijn to the English “Judy”):

  • Legend of the Woman of Stavoren (old dutch myth)
  • Jan Klaassen’s birthday
  • Jan Klaassen and the golden chain
  • Jan Klaassen and the laughing bomb
  • Jan Klaassen wins the lotto
  • Jan Klaassen and his dream
  • The dog of Jan Klaassen
  • Jan Klaassen goes camping!
On the occasion of a childbook presentation at library Ver Van Hier in Rotterdam (address Kleiweg 69) on wednesday the 28th of October 2015 the play Jan Klaassen and his dream has been performed, the children enjoyed themselves!

On the 15th of June “The dream of Jan Klaassen” was played, again during street play day of the year, in our garage at the Van Hoytemalaan. My coach and professional puppeteer Frans Hakkemars surveyed and gave a musical setting to enhance the play.

On Saturday the 17th of June 2017 the street play day was organised again in the van Hoytemalaan and neighbourhood, and puppetplay “Jan Klaassen’s dog” being appreciated by the public. In such a way that a few days later a father and his little daughter came at our door and asked the play to be reproduced to celebrate the 5th birthday of the child, as she missed almost everything of the play on the above day! It has been done on Saturday the 19th of August 2017, her birthday. Hereafter a few pictures of both events.
