Welcome to Umeå Teaterförening´s website!

History

Umeå Teaterförening is a non-profit theatre association, founded in 1934 as one of the first of many to come in Sweden. Today there are about 220 similar associations all over the country,  Umeå is the largest one with
1 300 members and over 150 theatre, dance and music performances every year in Umeå.

All theatre associations derives from the foundation of Riksteatern. Riksteatern is a national movement with the main goal to decentralise cultural venues from the larger cities, to the rest of the country. Today Riksteatern is the most visited theatre in the country, consistently touring and bringing theatre to the smallest of villages.
