Alt for Rognan – Everything for Rognan

Norwegian TV2 has announced a new reality TV show called "Alt for Rognan" (Everything for Rognan).

Rognan is my home town – a small town just north of the Arctic Circle with a population of about 2000.

"Alt for Rognan"

The plot is as follows: A theatre director from one of Norways’s most famous theatres (Chat Noir) gives two brothers from Rognan the opportunity of a lifetime. They are to find eight people from the community and write, rehearse, and finally perform their play at Chat Noir in Oslo.

The two brothers, Håvard and Paul Gunnar Jansen, have earlier been part of the amateur theatre group "Låverboys" which has represented Norway at international festivals. And they are GOOD!

The filming has already started, and the first program airs September 27. The premiere at Chat Noir is November 16.

I am looking forward to see old friends and my beloved hometown on TV.
