Theatre Statistics

Theatre statistics have been collected in Finland over 70 years. The first statistics were published in the annual report of the Central Association of Finnish Theatre Organisations in 1944. A book on theatre statistics has been published every year since 1985. As from 1995 the book is published by Theatre Info Finland (TINFO).
