Rijswijkse Schouwburg in Rijswijk

The theatre says every place, including the back rows, has an excellent view of the stage. For events, the hall can also be reduced to a 240-person set-up, which is how the venue rents it for symposia and presentations.

The Kleine Zaal has no fixed seat numbers: visitors choose a place when they go in. It is used for intimate performances, try-outs and the Onbeperkt Kleine Zaal series. The venue does not publish a separate capacity for the foyer or the café.

The two halls are used separately, so the theatre does not publish one figure for the whole building. The table puts the halls beside two theatres that visitors to The Hague and Rijswijk will know.

The Grote Zaal has 22 numbered rows, split into an even (right) and odd (left) side to keep the entrances flowing. Seat numbers do not simply run 1, 2, 3 along a row: row 1 seats 1 and 3 are next to each other, so check the seat map when you book online.

The theatre says the view is excellent from every row, including the back. If you want to be close to the stage, choose one of the first rows. Because the odd numbers are on the left and the even numbers on the right, pick seat numbers on the same side to sit together.

Wheelchair and rollator spaces are in row 9 of the Grote Zaal, and the assistance-dog places with extra room are also in row 9. Book these by phone through the Nationale Theaterkassa on 070 250 1160; the theatre reserves a place for the wheelchair user and, where possible, one beside it for a companion.

From NS station Rijswijk, bus 23 towards Scheveningen Noord stops at Rijswijkse Schouwburg, 130 m and about 2 minutes on foot. The station itself is 1,510 m away, about 21 minutes on foot; the bus is the easy option with show clothes on.

Tram 17 stops at Generaal Spoorlaan, 310 m and 5 minutes from the entrance. From Den Haag Centraal, take tram 17; the walk from that station is 4,820 m, about 65 minutes, so the tram is the practical choice.

At night, bus N4 stops at Rijswijkse Schouwburg. The venue also lists bus 22 from Rijswijk station towards Den Haag Duindorp, with a stop at Generaal Spoorlaan (West) and an 11-minute walk. Bicycles can be left in the racks on the Generaal Spoorlaan.

Use parking zone 32255 and register at the ticket machine or in a parking app such as ANWB Onderweg, Yellowbrick or EasyPark. The first hour costs nothing (the licence plate must be registered); from the second hour you pay €2.15 per hour until 24:00, according to the municipality's tariffs as listed by Parkeerbewust. Around the Huis van de Stad the paid hours differ from those around the theatre.

There are eight disabled parking spaces on the car park at Huys de Wervelaan, next to the theatre. With a valid European disabled parking card registered to the car, parking there is free. The theatre advises arriving early when a show is sold out or when several performances fall on the same day.

The nearest public car park is at Hendrik Ravesteijnplein, 360 m or about 5 minutes on foot (distance from OpenStreetMap). No page we read publishes a rate for it, so the table says so. The municipality lists the Ravesteijnplein parking area separately from the theatre's (Schouwburg-Huis van de Stad), so do not assume the theatre's free first hour applies there. It is the fallback when the streets around the theatre are full.
