- It all started in 1975 because then I came to Gävle and I started a number of drama groups for people with disabilities, says Ulrika Högberg, who is responsible for the theater's script and director.

She continues.

- 1979 we had the first premiere at Sätra height day center in the dining room.

Important to find solutions

According to Ulrika Högberg, the best thing about setting up a disability theater is the challenge, that you never know how much the actors can say and remember. The most important thing, according to her, is to quickly find different solutions and give voice to the vulnerable person.

Anna Widlund has been active at Gävle Disability Theater since 1986 and intends to continue for a while.

- I will continue with theater as long as my legs can bear my body, says Anna Widlund.
