Krusenstiernska teatern, Open-air theatre in Kalmar, Sweden
Krusenstiernska teatern is an open-air theatre located within the gardens of Krusenstiernska gården in Kalmar, offering seating for around 1000 spectators. The grounds feature mature trees, herb garden areas, and pathways with decorative shell-lined edges that form the performance setting.
The theatre was founded in 2008 by three Swedish entertainment figures, with its inaugural production titled 'Lånta fjädrar'. It has since become an established summer venue for the region.
The venue stages Swedish comedies and works adapted from international theatre, offering summer performances that reflect local entertainment traditions. Audiences gather here for live shows set against the backdrop of mature garden plantings and outdoor pathways.
Keep in mind that performances take place outdoors, so weather and daylight hours during summer will shape your experience. It is wise to bring layers and rain protection when planning your visit.
The venue is integrated into an existing historic garden rather than built as a standalone theatre, allowing visitors to experience performances within a mature landscape. This combination of theatre and garden space creates an outing that extends beyond a typical theatre visit.
