About

Unga Teatern in Espoo is Finland’s oldest Swedish‑language children’s theatre, celebrated for its imaginative storytelling and warm, playful atmosphere. Founded in 1960, it has become a beloved cultural institution where high‑quality performances introduce young audiences to theatre in a way that is both accessible and artistically rich. Its productions blend humour, music, puppetry and inventive stagecraft, creating worlds that spark curiosity and encourage children to explore emotions, relationships and creativity. The theatre performs in its cosy home venue in Tapiola as well as on tour, reaching families and schools across the region. With a strong commitment to inclusivity and lifelong engagement with the arts, Unga Teatern continues to inspire new generations, offering memorable experiences that stay with children long after the curtain falls.
