The City Theatre
The City Theatre (Stadsteatern) holds seven theatres under one roof at Sergels torg in central Stockholm. Each of those theatres have a profile of their own in terms of repertoire and audiences. The main theatre, for example, gives plays for a wide audience, while the "Klara" and "Lilla" theatres are more experimental.
Kafé Klara is a foyer theatre offering lunchtime performances five days a week. "Unga Klara" and the puppet theatre "Långa Näsan" give performances for children and teenagers. "Backstage" targets young adults aged 20-30.
Stadsteatern also runs the open-air theater "Parkteatern". During summer, people can enjoy theater free of charge in the public parks in and around Stockholm. "Ung Scen" is a touring theatre company, performing mainly in the suburbs for children and teenagers.
