Theatre from Johkula, for Johkula

Johku Teatteri writes its own plays from the stories of our village. In winter you sit in Johkula-talo, the cultural centre, in summer under the covered stand at Kotiniemi by the lake. Pick your show, pre-order your interval coffee and enjoy the evening. Performances are in Finnish.
