Larger-than-life is a frequent theme at Tampereen Työväen Teatteri (the Tampere Workers' Theatre), whether it refers to the emotions expressed or the people portrayed. Tampereen Työväen Teatteri is one of Tampere's two main theatres so anyone in search of large-scale productions should head for the redbrick building on the edge of Hämeenpuisto, one of the largest parks in Tampere. Known as TTT, Tampereen Työväen Teatteri was founded at the beginning of the twentieth century as the result of the working classes showing an interest in theatre. The theatre includes a café and there are often costumes from previous productions on display in the halls. TTT employs almost 150 people, out of whom 30 are actors. Anyone familiar with Finnish film and television will be pleasently surprised as the faces of Ilmari Saarelainen, Karoliina Blackburn and TTT manager Esko Roine frequently appear live on stage. Tickets for all performances can be booked through TTT's own ticket office (+358 3 217 8222).
