June 1st & 3rd, 2023: The Addams Family Musical

Following the production of Fiddler on the Roof, the brand new board still faced some consequences of the pandemic. There were no theaters available in Enschede or Hengelo, where InSPE usually performs. The board had to think outside of the box; from reconsidering the Open air theatre on the UT campus, to renting a ‘spiegeltent’; the board landed in TheaterHotel Almelo, where InSPE successfully brought The Addams Family Musical to the stage.

With a new board and new found energy after ‘West Side Story’‘, InSPE took on ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ as its next project in 2020. InSPE had to postpone initial show dates by 6 months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With online and outdoor, socially-distanced, rehearsals, InSPE brought the musical on being reliant on tradition and faith in times of change and turbulence to the open air theater on the University of Twente Campus.

April 28th, 29th & 30th, 2019: West Side Story

After the great success of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar – The Raw Edition’ in 2017, 2019 brought the next cultural collaboration production. After its founding in 2018, InSPE presented the musical ‘West Side Story’, a production that combined music, singing, acting, dancing, and art with each other.

In April 2017  it was time. After one year full of rehearsals and preparations the students presented what they have been working on. In the big stage of the RaboTheater in Hengelo they rocked the show. It was a one of a kind production.
