Backa Theatre (Swedish: Backa Teater) is a youth theater located in Gothenburg, Sweden. It focuses on producing theater for children and their families. [1][2]
The theater (then known as Skolteatern) was founded in 1978 by Eva Bergman, Ulf Dohlsten, and Maria Hedborg as part of Gothenburg City Theatre.[3][4] Bergman remained the artistic director of the theatre for just over 20 years.[5]
On 30 March 2006, it was announced that playwright and director Mattias Andersson would be succeeding Alexander Öberg as artistic director.[6] In October 2020, Andersson announced was leaving after 13 years at Backa Theatre.[7]
The theatre moved to a new space in 2007, which cost 54 million SEK and was slightly larger than their previous location at 3,300 square metres. The official reopening was on 17 November.[8]
