Funding for the artistic production and public showing of theatre in the independent field, for single projects or multi-year projects. Projects developing new drama can also apply for up to NOK 180,000 towards the playwright's fee. The expert committee for theatre weighs artistic content, originality, feasibility, presentation plans, fair pay and climate considerations.

Professional performing artists, producers, members of a production environment or other units in the performing arts field; private persons, private and public institutions, organisations and other businesses may apply. Applicants with a fixed annual state grant normally do not receive funding.
