PIT celebrates 30 years!
In 2025, the Porsgrunn International Theatre Festival (PIT) celebrates its 30th year!
“When we said in 1994 that we were going to create an international theater festival in Porsgrunn, many people probably giggled behind our backs. But some believed in it; politicians, business people, artists, cultural workers. At least they believed in it enough to give us the chance to try. And sure enough, a festival was established! Over the years, we have hosted a few thousand performances from a few dozen countries. More than 600 000 audiences have experienced different acts! We’ve been proud to see that PIT has become something people in Porsgrunn are proud of and count on. It’s been a lot of work. But it’s definitely been worth it!”
PIT will occupy Porsgrunn Mek before it is demolished and a new one is built. ‘We're going to create a whole world there - with indoor and outdoor performances, concerts, food stalls, family activities, surprises, Scene:Bluss, a festival café and more. In addition, there will be performances at Friteatret, Ælvespeilet, Karjolen, Olavsberget, Festivalgata and more.
