Truus Gielen and Karel Leentjens were surprised today by Mayor Roel Wever of Heerlen with flowers, cake and presents. They were thanked for their contribution to the community and their many years of dedication to Cultura Nova and the theatre. Truus always ensured that the artists received a warm welcome and, thanks to Mr Leentjens, thousands of children were introduced to the riches of the theatre. That is why they are rightly called ‘special Heerlen people’.
