Reginateatern, Theater in Uppsala, Sweden
Reginateatern is a performance venue in Uppsala that hosts theater productions, comedy shows, concerts, and artistic events throughout the year. The building features a main stage designed to accommodate different types of live performances and gatherings.
Reginateatern was designed in 1925 by city architect Gunnar Leche and opened as a cinema. It later became known as Skandiascenen before reopening in February 2005, partly restored to its original form, when it reverted to its original name. Since then it has served as Uppsala Municipality's guest-performance stage.
Uppsala's student theatre and orchestra groups stage their productions here, among them Ett teknat spex, Phontrattarne and the Farmacevtiska interaktiva spexkommittén. The comedy duo Kesselofski och Fiske have used Reginateatern as their home stage, and Teater Prego regularly holds the Sweden International Improv Festival in the building.
Reginateatern is Uppsala Municipality's guest-performance stage, so its programme changes with each visiting company rather than running a resident ensemble. The 2005 reopening restored parts of Gunnar Leche's 1925 original form. Check the official website for the current programme of local, Swedish and foreign productions.
Comedian Lasse Eriksson died on the Reginateatern stage on 3 March 2011, right after a performance of Fyra lyckliga män 2. The venue has also been the home stage of the comedy duo Kesselofski och Fiske, and Teater Prego holds the recurring Sweden International Improv Festival here.
