Discover Funding Opportunities

This grant program supports historical theater productions in Norway. The purpose is to contribute to the development of new theatrical performances (spel) and provide established productions with opportunities for continuity and increased quality. The theater activity should be part of strengthening cultural activities and local community identity, and should include and stimulate broad participation. The program targets both amateurs and professionals who create local productions based on distant or recent history. Funded projects must clearly distinguish themselves as separate projects with their own project budgets, and demonstrate local community engagement and participation.

This grant supports the production of historical plays - local performances based on distant or recent history. The program aims to develop new plays and provide established plays with opportunities for continuity and increased quality. The play activity should strengthen cultural activity and local identity in the community while encouraging broad participation. Eligible projects must involve adult amateurs and volunteers, be rooted in local cultural life, have thematic connection to the performance location (through local history, myths, legends or literature), and be open to the general public with ticket sales. The plays can be performed both indoors and outdoors.
