The building was designed by the local architectural firm Arkitektfirman Arton.
But even before that the location harboured a small theatre house dating back to 1821.
Being a well-placed geographical link between Sweden and Denmark, Helsingborg has a proud and steady theatre tradition, particularly from European guest touring theatre companies.
In 2010, Ingmar Bergman square was named after him to honour his contributions to the city's theater-culture.
The theater underwent several major reorganizations during the 2000s and since 1 January 2015 has been part of the municipal company Helsingborg Arena & Scen AB.
