It's a long story. This used to be a movie-theater for more than 40 years. But they stopped screening. Cityhall bought the theater and they claimed national TV wanted the stage as broadcasting Studio for the South of Netherlands. It was rebuilt in a very short time, at very high cost. When later there was no interest in National TV and Expenditures were much higher than the forecast, three Elderman had to leave their position. Also new elections came, and in the aftermath of an official inquiry also the mayor came into problems and had to resign.
What remained after all this, was a modern theater, without any political support....
