Lemaire wanted to create a place where children can not only look at theater, but where children can learn to play theater. The municipality of Rotterdam pointed him to the vacant Hofpleintheater the Benthemstraat. After a major refurbishment was the theater on November 5, 1985 again open to the public. The four founders (Louis Lemaire, Christine Lemaire, Hanny Kleinjan and Perkyn Spiekerman) and 25 volunteers to do everything themselves, from programming to sell tickets (by hand!), Teaching to clean toilets. Lessons game, song and dance are given in the auditorium, lobby and even in the wardrobe of the Hofpleintheater.
