About

Posttheater Arnhem is a beloved small‑scale theatre known for its warm atmosphere and strong focus on cabaret, comedy, and intimate live performances. Housed in the historic KAB‑building in the Klarendal district, it occupies a former headquarters of the Catholic Labour Movement, giving the venue a distinctive character with its brick façade and iconic circular window. The theatre began in 1991 in a former post office—hence its name—and gradually evolved from a rehearsal space into a full performance venue. Today it offers two halls, including a flexible main auditorium with telescopic seating that creates an up‑close connection between artists and audience. Its programme highlights emerging talent as well as established performers, making it a key stage for cabaret in the eastern Netherlands. With its friendly scale, creative energy, and neighbourhood charm, Posttheater remains one of Arnhem’s most inviting cultural spots.
