History
The history of the theater mainly built of wood actually begins with the former Passage Theatre. This movie theater was built in 1933 near the Koemarkt commissioned by the Amsterdam Tuschinski group.
In the seventies, the Passage Theatre was substantially renovated and it unfortunately lost Art Nouveau elements. Eventually, the theater was demolished in 1994 to make way for the shopping center New Passage. Plans to build a new theater, were already at an advanced stage in a more suitable location in the city center.
On April 15, 1998 the current theater opened its doors with some performances, after which the official opening took place in September 1998.
Theater aan de Schie is a design by architect Hans Ruijssenaars. Before he was commissioned to design a new theater for the city of Schiedam in 1992, he had already made his name as the architect of the Casino Lido in Amsterdam and the special Apeldoorn city hall. For the design of Theater aan de Schie Ruijssenaars was inspired by the world-famous Teatro Farnese, built entirely of wood, which was built in the 17th century in Parma, Italy. Soft fragrant wood and a sophisticated light are thus the main architectural features of theater to become the Schie.
