FEATS News 2026
It’s done—another year of an amazing festival in the beautiful city of The Hague! This year’s programme featured 12 performances in the Main Stage Competition, 15 vibrant Fringe events, 9 inspiring Tutorial Sessions, and 2 engaging Workshops—alongside the now-annual FEATS “skit.”
Two birthdays were also celebrated: 50 years of FEATS and 75 years of the hosting company, AATG (Amateur Anglophone Theatre Group).
With well over a thousand tickets sold, the festival once again proved its enduring appeal and energy.
And what a setting it was! Across all four days, the sun blazed happily, and the sky was an uninterrupted blue canvas – perfect weather for a perfect event.
Entity was not one of the participants in the main stage competition this year. Still, a small group of five Entity members were on hand to support this year’s FEATS. Many thanks to this dedicated team for representing Entity and helping pave the way as we look ahead to hosting the festival in 2029.
