About us
This is us!
Västerbottensteatern is the county theater in Västerbotten based in Skellefteå. The theater produces 8-10 new productions per year and annually plays about 400-500 performances in Skellefteå, Umeå and on tour in the region. The theater cherishes and builds on Västerbotten's rich and vibrant tradition of storytelling and between 2018-2024 the Nordic Storytelling Center was run as a separate department. Now everything told is part of the entire theater. Västerbottensteatern also has a unique expertise in our department UngHästen, which works with theater as an educational tool in middle school, high school and upper secondary school.
Västerbottensteatern celebrates 45 years as a county theater in 2025 and moved in the autumn of 2021 into the then newly built Sara Kulturhus in the middle of Skellefteå center.
