Skillinge Teater is one of Österlen’s premier cultural visitor destinations, featuring a spacious restaurant, a highly popular gin bar, and three stages with a combined capacity of 2,350 visitors.
The restaurant is open during performances and cultural events. Throughout the summer, the venue buzzes with a rich variety of activities, concerts, and live entertainment.
In the summer of 2026, visitors are warmly invited to two dynamic and inspiring stage productions:
DEN KOMISKA TRAGEDIN (The Comic Tragedy)
A production where laughter meets gravity – and life reveals its most human side.
Den Komiska Tragedin is a warm, fast-paced, and poignant theatrical experience packed with humor, relatable truths, and unexpected twists. With sharp dialogue, compelling presence, and a story that both moves and amuses, audiences are welcomed into a world where joy and sorrow walk hand in hand. Here, comedy and drama strike a perfect balance – from hearty laughter to moments that hit straight to the heart. Performed 20 times from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, August 2.
FLICKAN OCH HAVET (The Girl & The Sea)
This summer, Skillinge Teater presents ”Flickan & Havet”, an extraordinary production for children and families that combines classic stage acting with modern holographic scenic art, immersive 3D projections, music, and emotional storytelling.
From June 23 to August 2, the theatre in Skillinge transforms into a magical wonderland filled with talking squirrels, singing birds, an enigmatic elephant – and a gigantic shark whose severe toothache causes the sea to churn with fury.
Runs from June 23 to August 2.
During the summer, the theatre also welcomes guest appearances by celebrated artists such as Carl-Einar Häckner, Emil Jensen, and Caroline af Ugglas.
– We want everyone to feel welcome at Skillinge Teater, which is why we offer a broad repertoire with something for every taste and age. Our program spans everything from high-culture avant-garde to relaxed, folk-inspired entertainment, explains Karin Johansson-Mex, CEO and artistic director of Skillinge Teater.
– We love pushing the boundaries of our artistic expression, challenging both ourselves and our audience. What matters most to us is delivering phenomenal culture while making everyone feel warmly embraced here, says Karin.
Café, Restaurant & Gin Bar
Our restaurant is situated right next to the theatre in newly renovated premises across two floors with an impressive ceiling height of 8 meters.
Our inner courtyard is a lush oasis blooming with flowers and hollyhocks. The outdoor patio accommodates 100 guests, while the theatre restaurant itself seats up to 150 dining guests.
Directly adjoining the restaurant is the much-appreciated Gin Bar, created in collaboration with Bonalumi Bottlers, a local distillery producing the award-winning Österlen gin. Here you can unwind in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere – the perfect setting for inspiring conversations and the simple pleasures that make life beautiful.
This year, we also offer the theatre’s lovely apartment for rent via Airbnb, accommodating up to 8 guests. The apartment is available for bookings throughout the summer season.
