Theatre NO99 was a theatre in Tallinn, Estonia that commenced operations in February 2005. It was a state-owned repertoire theatre that had its own building with two theatre halls in central Tallinn. The theatre closed in 2019. The theatre's name, NO99, is an abbreviation for "number 99", and with each production the number, 99, decreased by one. Despite the name, the theatre has no connection with classical Noh Theatre. The theatre’s artistic director was Tiit Ojasoo, and the chief stage designer-director was Ene-Liis Semper. The troupe consisted of 10 actors, eight men, and two women. Every season, the theatre produced two to four new stage productions for the large hall. In addition, co-production projects (for example, with the theatre school) premiered in the small hall. Drama productions were staged primarily in the large hall. They aspired towards artistic exactingness and social relevance. Texts were often composed by the directors themselves (or in cooperation with actors). Adaptations of film screenplays have been produced on several occasions. In some cases, finished drama texts have also been brought to the stage. Works from McDonagh, Kurosawa, Tarkovski, Jarry, Mishima, Chekhov, Shakespeare, and others have been performed by the troupe. In addition to productions in the large and small halls, plays have been staged in the open air as well: in an old swimming pool (Seven Samurais), and in three abandoned airplane hangars (King Ubu). The theatre also organized so-called one-time "actions", in which the success or failure of an unconventional idea is tested. In addition to Ojasoo and Semper, other Estonian directors also directed plays in the theatre, as do guests from abroad (for example, Sebastian Hartmann, Aleksander Pepeljajev). Guest actors from other theatres also participated in NO99 productions. The theatre won several national and international festival awards for productions, stage design, and acting. Several productions have been invited to part
