Eric de Vroedt was one of the founders of the theater company Monk. At ‘De Monk’ theater company, De Vroedt discovered that writing and directing were more satisfying than playing. In 2004 he started the ‘Mightysociety project’. From 2007, this project fell under the umbrella of Toneelgroep Amsterdam and De Vroedt was part of TA-2, an initiative of Toneelgroep Amsterdam and Toneelschuur Haarlem. Since 2008 De Vroedt has made repertoire performances at Toneelgroep Amsterdam (Streetcar Named Desire of Tennessee Williams in 2008, Glengarry Glen Ross of David Mamet in 2009, After the fall of Arthur Miller in 2012, The Entertainer of John Osborne in 2014 and Queen Lear of Tom Lanoye, to Shakespeare in 2015). In 2016, Vroedt will join the National Theater as director and artistic director, from which he will become artistic director in 2018. In Germany, De Vroedt is permanent guest director at Schauspielhaus Bochum. For the great hall he directed Freitag by Hugo Claus and Leas Hochzeit (Leedvermaak) by Judith Herzberg. At Theater Dortmund he made Die Restposten (mightysociety4).
