About Nordland Theatre
Nordland Theatre is a Norwegian regional theatre, based in Mo i Rana and responsible for touring the municipalities of the county of Nordland.
Nordland Theatre was established in August 1979. From then until 1986 the theatre was ruled by communal meeting under an interim board, as a subdivision of The Norwegian Touring Theatre (Riksteatret). In 1981 Nordland Theatre became a limited liability company owned by the county of Nordland and the municipality of Rana.
The theatre's first complete production, of The Broken Jug by Heinrich von Kleist, opened in January 1980. At the time, the theatre had already performed two intimate musical productions as test projects.
