Programme ’26
The WijkJury consists of a dozen city inhabitants of different ages and cultural backgrounds who rarely go to the theater, and a WijkBuddy who guides them through their city’s performing arts landscape. Together they visit about 10 diverse performances a year in theaters in their city. At the end of the season they choose their favourite: The Choice of the WijkJury.
