Drammens Teater

Drammens Teater is a performance venue in Drammen with two stages: a main hall for larger productions and a studio space for smaller works. The building combines 19th-century architectural design with modern technical systems that support a wide range of theatrical and musical presentations.

The building originated in 1870, designed with inspiration from Parisian theaters such as Porte Saint-Martin and Chatelet. Following a fire in 1993, the venue underwent major reconstruction and reopened in 1997 with updated stage technology.

The venue shapes local cultural life through regular Norwegian productions and visiting companies from abroad. Walking through the halls, you notice how the space connects performers and audiences who gather for shared experiences.

Visitors can easily stay informed about upcoming shows through the theater's newsletter and website. Gift cards are available and also valid for events at Union Scene, a partner venue elsewhere in town.

The foyer displays architectural elements that echo the historical connection to French theater designs. Many visitors overlook these details, as they typically see the venue only as a modern performance hall rebuilt in the late 1990s.
