Stella Den Haag has been producing youth theatre productions for young and old since 1990. They vary from small experimental projects to shows for large audiences, many of which are made in co-production with major organizations mainly from The Hague. Stella Den Haag encourages budding talent and trains up-and-coming theatre makers, working closely with various organizations and performing the productions at prominent festivals. Alongside this, Stella Den Haag initiates innovative cross-pollination between different art disciplines and devises high-profile art education projects, thereby exceeding the boundaries of theatrical art. Stella Den Haag performs in the Netherlands and abroad. Home performances are given throughout the entire building and on the square outside.
