The Secret Club 3.0 (6+) - Premiere weekend

Step inside The Secret Club (6+)
Join us on an adventure and let yourself be surprised and swept away by a group of talented actors, dancers, musicians and singers from Almere. You’ll discover a whole new world you never knew existed, where you’re more than welcome and eagerly awaited, where you can be yourself or, for a moment, someone else, where you’re seen and heard, and where you matter.

Following the success of the first two editions, The Secret Club 3.0 is now here. In The Secret Club, nothing is what it seems, all sorts of things happen, and the content remains a secret right up until the last moment. The only thing we’ll reveal is that it’s a theatre performance for everyone aged 6 and over, and it lasts no more than an hour. Afterwards, we’ll deny everything.

Opening weekend during Uitfestival Almere on 26 and 27 September 2026 – free admission
To mark the 20th anniversary of BonteHond and the 50th anniversary of Almere, we’re offering this performance free of charge to all (young) residents of Almere. The dress rehearsals on Saturday 26 September and the opening night on Sunday 27 September at Kunstlinie are free to attend. Come along and bring as many people as you can! Free tickets can be collected from the Kunstlinie box office. This opening weekend is part of the Uitfestival Almere.

Talent incubator
The Secret Club is BonteHond ’s talent incubator. For this third edition, we’re giving four young creators from Almere, with very diverse (artistic) backgrounds, the chance to create a professional theatre production under the guidance of BonteHond, Salty and Theatergroep SubSub . Each edition of De Geheime Club is created by its own group of young creators. Would you like to find out more about previous editions? Read on here.
