Does my kid need to understand Swedish?

No. The story is told through dance, movement, music and play, which is how Teater Tre makes its shows, so a toddler can follow it without the words.

Is there a show over the autumn break?

Yes. Wednesday October 28 at 10:45am still had seats when we checked. The 4pm show that day is sold out.

Can we buy tickets at the door?

Only if seats are left. The box office opens 30 minutes before the show and takes card and Swish. Tickets can't be refunded, so book on Kulturbiljetter ahead of time.

What you need to know

Played at Lilla 3, not the main stage: head to Samaritgränd 3, Teater Tre's small stage near Mariatorget, not Rosenlundsgatan 12
Small audience, close up: public shows seat at most 60 people, so toddlers sit right by the dancers
Seats left only on weekday mornings: the weekend and 4pm shows are sold out, so plan around preschool or parental leave

About

Tomtebobarnen is a dance and music show for toddlers, loosely based on Elsa Beskow's picture book Children of the Forest. Three performers in red mushroom hats play siblings through a year in the woods: they grow, squabble, play and learn about each other. Teater Tre tells it through dance, movement, music and play, and the room is small, so the youngest sit close to the action.

160 kr per person, seniors 130 kr
