De Lawei, Cultural theater in Drachten, Netherlands
The theater contains multiple performance spaces and hosts 270 professional productions annually, making it the largest theater in Southeast Friesland.
De Lawei opened in 1960 following Drachten's population growth sparked by the establishment of Philips industries in the 1950s.
The venue presents a diverse program including theater performances, concerts, conferences, seminars, and art exhibitions throughout the year.
The facility underwent extensive renovations between 2013 and 2014, resulting in modernized foyers, rehearsal spaces, and expanded office areas.
Artist Henk Hofstra created an installation of 500 red ants painted on roads leading to the theater for its 50th anniversary in 2010.
