Valborg Frøysnes is a versatile actress and has interpreted a number of very different roles, from Bjørnar Teigen's youth drama The Face on Mars to Bjørnson's Sigurd the Bad and Beyond Human Power - II, both directed by the German Uwe Cramer. She acted in Heleen Verburg's Hibernation, a production awarded the Hedda Award for best production for children and youth in 2008.
Further, Valborg Frøysnes has partaken in Det regner aske* (Ashes are raining) by Bjørnar Teigen. In 2009 and 2010 she acted in the theatre's production for children called Taremareby* (The City of Taremare).
Valborg Frøysnes won The Hedda Award 2010 in the category of best supporting actress for the role of Mariedl in The First Ladies by Werner Schwab, directed by Frode Rasmussen, Teatret Vårt (Our Theatre). The jury reasoned as follows:
"At the theatre where she has worked since she completed her artistic education, she has interpreted a number of female characters. All the interpretations have been different, but one thing they have had in common: Presence onstage and a strong charisma. The efforts have been solid and good, but when the winner of the year last autumn was assigned the interpretation of a wholly different female type, she revealed new and exciting sides of her talent.
With finely tuned, precise details, without trace of the too-easy caricature the role can invite to, she conveys that the simple, near retarded woman she presents is pure of heart, but also that she is the only glimpse of hope in a decadent, disturbing world.
The award goes to Valborg Frøysnes for her thorough and moving interpretation of Mariedl in Holy Mothers at Teatret Vårt (Our Theatre)."
