 In the first two years he may primarily have been  involved as a designer, since there are extant examples of designs for ''[[Elckerlyck]]'' ("Everyman", 1925), ''[[Tijl]]'' (1925, in which he also played two small roles) , ''[[Beatrijs]]'' (1926). However, this soon changed, and in a listing of the group for the season 1926-1927, Stultjes was listed as an '''actor''' (who performed under the pseudonym of [[Jan Plaat]])and not as a designer in the "arts department" of the group.
-Contemporary sources soon hailed Stultjes as an important actor and he  eventually starred in the ''[[Barabbas]]''  (1929).  (According to [[Ludwig Binge|Binge]], he also trained as an actor and performed - as [[Jan Plaat]] -  with the [[Hagespelers in 't Voorhout]] of [[Eduard Verkade]]  in the same period, i.e. 1926-1928. However this sounds unlikely.)  However, Stultjes's  involvement with Flemish theatre seemed to coincide  with the demise of the [[Vlaamsche Volkstooneel]] around 1930-1931, when  he left his  wife and two children behind in Belgium to return to South Africa to pursue a career as theatre maker and actor under the name [[Jean Plaat-Stultjes]] for four short, but influential years, before he sadly and unexpectedly died of pneumonia on 22 September 1934, while on tour in Vanrhynsdorp ,  and was buried in Pretoria  on 26st of September 1934.
