Hi I Google translated this because I'm lazy, sorry. 

15 obstacles that prevent you from going to the theater for an evening
1. It did not happen. Well ...

2. I do not belong. I understand. But that seems like that. Moreover, it is dark in the room, so nobody sees you.

3. I know too little about it. Do I have to know those names on the poster? No! Often they insist on making the actors a pleasure. Almost nobody knows them.

4. I am a doctor, so I always fear that I have to resuscitate on my free night. True, there are often a lot of old people in the room. Not for nothing, they know the value of theater. But remember: most resuscitations take place in and around the house or on the street. An average of one resuscitation per day is required in the Netherlands during sport and relaxation. "Is there a doctor in the room?" Occurs mainly in films and old farces.

5. The performance takes far too long. A good piece can thus take three hours. True, that seems to be extremely long. But the average Dutch person also has three hours on his phone every day, and three hours in front of the TV. And there is never something to see, everyone knows that.

6. They always act so exaggerated with a loud voice. You have not been here for a very long time.

7. All performances are similar. That's not too bad. It is mainly the booklet of the theater that tastes like a uniform sausage. A common misconception of theaters is to present all performances neatly and ordered in the same style to the public.

8. I never know for sure if they are going out of their clothes again. Well, that always remains a surprise.

9. I always forget my log-in codes on the site of the theater. Yes, but the C & M arranges the tickets, so this is not your problem.

10. I have no one around who tells me what is good. Believe us, this is good. 11. I already have a Netflix subscription. More and more is being hung in the theater. 12. I do not need a gloomy life story. Well. If you read the text on flyers, the story often does not look so happy. Avoid indeed performances that are described as 'poignant' or 'poignant'! But believe me, there are few directors who make a really depressing performance. Most offer hope, humor and inspiration. Theater making is vulnerable. Often makers do not dare to promise that the performance will be fun or amusing, or they will not like it. 13. Art is not my primary necessity of life. With the statement "Art is an important part of life", 59% of Dutch people disagree. You are not the only one who does not see art as a primary necessity of life! Is it not even time to work on your secondary life needs? We are no longer cavemen. 14. I get annoyed by the many mails from my theater, so I do not want to be a customer anymore. Yes, but this is not your problem again but from the C & M so ...? 15. My friend does not have any beef. A common problem: the stupid friend. People think they should go to stage with their partner. No need! Go with a good friend, a lover, or alone. Or with the C & M!
