Freelanceteateret has its origin from Sydvest'n Teater, an amateur group run since 1993. In 2004 the amateur based part of the theatre and Freelanceteatret was established as a professional company. The company has no staff beyond the artistic and general manager, but attaches freelancers on a per production basis.
