SWEDISH MUSICAL

THEATRE NETWORK

ABOUT THE NETWORK

The Swedish Musical Theatre Network (SMTN) is a newly founded, community-led platform working to strengthen the development of musical theatre in Sweden. We exist to bridge the gap between writers and composers, theatres and producers, and to support new work from the seeds of an idea to the stage.

SMTN also aims to connect and showcase the Swedish sector internationally.

OPEN CALL: MusikalLab 2026

Do you have an idea for a new musical — and wonder what comes next?

MusikalLab is a new international development programme for Swedish musical theatre writers and composers.

Two selected projects will take part in a three-day intensive workshop (4–6 May) with leading international artists, followed by an industry showcase at Scenkonsts Branschdagar (7 May).

More information coming soon!

 

2025 SYMPOSIUM

The inaugural Swedish New Musical Theatre Symposium was held in Gothenburg in April 2025. Artists, producers, educators, venues and creatives came together with a shared purpose: to discuss ways in which we can lower the barriers that exist for the creation of new work, and to build the infrastructure that supports it.
