Theatre

Since 1985 I’ve been actively involved in amateur theatre, mainly acting but occasionally also directing. In 1995-1996 I took a break from my computer science studies to study drama for a year. Below is a (possibly not quite complete) list of various other theatre-related activities I have taken part in (most plays produced by Teaterlaget i BUL i Nidaros, with quite a few taking place on Munkholmen).
