Pori Theatre, Municipal theatre in Stone-Pori district, Finland
Pori Theatre is a theatre building in the Stone-Pori district featuring Renaissance Revival architecture with two separate performance spaces. The main auditorium seats 313 people, while a smaller studio stage accommodates 100 spectators.
The theatre was established in 1931 when two local companies, the Pori Workers' Theater and Pori Stage Theatre, merged into one organization. This consolidation created a single stable institution for performing arts in the city.
The theatre hosts productions primarily in Finnish and serves as a venue during the annual Pori Jazz festival. Visitors experience a blend of theatrical performances and jazz music that shapes the cultural life of the community.
The theatre is open Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Saturday from 11 AM to 6 PM for ticket purchases and visitor information. Planning ahead and arriving early helps secure good seats for popular performances.
A statue of Finnish author Hj. Nortamo stands near the building, marking a historical link between literature and performing arts in the area. This monument quietly honors the artistic traditions that have shaped the region.
