Johan Conrad Huusher
Johan Conrad Huusher (1797–1869) was a Norwegian-Danish actor manager.[1]
He was the manager of the theater company which staffed the Trøndelag Teater in 1829–1831, and was succeeded by Carl Wilhelm Orlamundt. As such he played a major part in the theater history of Trondheim, which had no other permanent theatre in a period when Norway was almost entirely dominated by travelling theatre companies from Denmark: the building had previously only been used by the Det Dramatiske Selskab, and he thereby created the first professional public theatre in the city and that part of Norway. Many major figures of the contemporary Norwegian theatre was employed in his company.
