ATLAS Theater Emmen

Right in the middle of Raadhuisplein, you’ll find one of Emmen’s true eye-catchers: the ATLAS Theater. A place where stories come to life, where big names and local talent share the stage, and where every season offers something new to experience.

A theatre in Emmen with international appeal

The ATLAS Theater opened its doors in 2016. With a 22-metre-high stage tower, the theater is quite literally built for greatness. This makes it possible to host large (international) productions, such as musicals and concerts. Each year, the theater attracts around 65,000 visitors from Emmen, Drenthe, and far beyond.
