The theatre was designed by Piet Blom,[1][2] who also designed the cube houses in Helmond and in Rotterdam. It was opened in October 1977[3] by then Crown Princess Beatrix.[1]

The theatre was completely destroyed by fire on 29 December 2011.[1][4] The building was a municipal monument, not a Rijksmonument, as was wrongly reported by several media.[5]
