Kajaani City Theatre

Kajaani City Theatre is a playhouse with two performance spaces in the city of Kajaani. The main stage holds 186 seats, while the Sissilinna stage is dedicated specifically to productions by emerging artists.

The theatre began over 100 years ago as an ensemble-based repertory operation and grew into one of Finland's five regional theatres. This development made it a significant cultural institution for northern Finland.

The theatre takes its name from the city of Kajaani and serves as a cultural hub for the surrounding region. Visitors can experience both Finnish premieres and contemporary works from around the world.

A visit works best if you check the schedule ahead of time and allow yourself to explore both performance spaces. Both venues are easy to reach since they are located within the city.

One third of all performances take place not in the building but in communities across the northern region. This makes the institution unique, as it goes out to find its audience rather than waiting for the audience to come.
