BATS Theatre
BATS is the international English-speaking community theatre of Stavanger, Norway. Since 1985, we've put on plays, sketch nights, improv shows, and workshops — entirely volunteer-run, open to anyone who wants to take part on stage or behind the scenes.

If you're new to Stavanger, this is the place where the English-speaking arts crowd shows up.
