Come to the show and make your move!
Maybe it will be your Lucky Day.
The question is: what will you do if you actually win the grand prize later? You may think about it now: will you keep the prize money yourself or give it away to someone else? The other person who is deeply in debt and can only dream of sleeping peacefully.
WARNING: After seeing the theatrical thriller-docu Lucky Day, you may not be able to sleep that night yourself.
Lucky Day is the new show by Storytelling Centre and Marjolein Frijling and is about debt. Especially about what it does to you to be in debt. Based on the stories of young people in debt, Marjolein creates a penetrating production with three performers, two of whom are experts by experience.
Lucky Day was created in cooperation with ONSbank, an organisation that helps young people with their debt problems.
