Västmanlands teater

Västmanlands teater is a theatre venue in central Västerås with three performance spaces of different sizes. The main hall accommodates 374 spectators, a smaller stage seats 104, and a bistro stage holds 60 for more intimate shows.

The building at Slottsgatan 11 was designed by city architect Erik Hahr and opened to the public in 1915. It has operated continuously since then, remaining a cultural gathering place to this day.

The theatre stages classical and contemporary productions featuring professional performers alongside local artists. These shows blend traditional storytelling with modern interpretations that draw audiences throughout the year.

The venue offers performances in three different spaces, allowing visitors to choose between intimate settings or larger halls depending on their preference. Its central location makes it easily accessible, and the multiple stages enable different types of productions to happen simultaneously.

The building serves as both a performance venue and an educational hub offering workshops for aspiring theatre professionals. This dual role as both stage and training ground sets it apart from typical theatre halls.
