More

The Touring Theatre of Trøndelag was established under the name Nord-Trøndelag Teaterverksted (literally: Nord-Trøndelag Theatre Workshop) in 1983, and at the time the aim was to develop amateur theatre in the county of Nord-Trøndelag. In addition the theatre produced professional productions as part of its activity. The name was changed from Nord-Trøndelag Teaterverksted to Nord-Trøndelag Theatre (Norwegian: Nord-Trøndelag Teater) in 1996, and at the same time the owner, the county of Nord-Trøndelag made it clear that the theatre was to emphasise conveying professional performing arts.

The Touring Theatre in Trøndelag achieved official status as a regional theatre in September 2007. At the time, it was called Nord-Trøndelag Theatre (in Norwegian: Nord-Trøndelag Teater).

The theatre has been organised as a limited liability company from January 1 2010.

Until January 1st 2018, The Touring Theatre of Trøndelag was owned by the county of Nord-Trøndelag. From this date, when the Trøndelag counties merge, it willl be owned by the county of Trøndelag. Until April 26 2017, the Norwegian name of the theatre was Nord-Trøndelag Teater, and the name used in English-language contexts was Nord-Trøndelag Theatre.
