Did you pay your entry fees?

If we have not received your payment, you haven’ t been entered in the schedules and therefore cannot participate in the EuroGames.

About Rotterdamse Schouwburg

• Rotterdamse Schouwburg is housed in the building at Schouwburgplein since April 1988, right in the center of town. Architect Wim Quist designed a progressive building, that soon became known as  “kist van Quist” -> the Box of Quist. In the theatre there are year round national and international events and shows including the well known Circus Festival.
• During the 2010 refit the Central Hall was connected to the Café Floor next to the Theater. With this perfect match the City Foyer has come to life and is now an ideal place to welcome all participants and visitors of the EuroGames 2011!
