Tryater is the multilingual theatre company of Fryslân and is part of the national cultural basic infrastructure. The Frisian language has an obvious place in our performances. We play approximately 235 performances per year, for about 23,000 children, young people and adults. Throughout Fryslân. Our performances are polyphonic, inclusive and accessible: we want to be there for all residents of Fryslân.

Inclusivity and accessibility
Tryater feels it is important to be as accessible as possible to everyone. The foyer and the main and small auditoriums are easily accessible for those who have difficulty walking. When we perform on location, we recommend checking our website or that of the location for accessibility.
Many of our productions are accessible to the deaf or hard-of-hearing thanks to subtitles or smart glasses. This is indicated per production on the website. Tryater often selects a number of performances in the series for translation using subtitles or smart glasses.
Tryater aims to ensure that our perfomances are accessible for those who are blind or partially sighted. The foundation Komt het Zien! (Come and See!) helps to make it possible to follow a production when audiovisually impaired, thanks to live audio descriptions and meet & feel introductions.
