About RassegnaT

RassegnaT is the theater season of Caselette, a small town in the lower Susa Valley in the Province of Turin. From January to April, the Teatro Cav. Magnetto hosts professional actors and companies, bringing comedy, social commitment, and poetry to an intimate and welcoming setting. A festival that proves even a small town can offer high-quality theater, turning culture into a gathering point for the entire community.

Great theater arrives in Caselette

RassegnaT — Theater in Caselette is the theater season that brings the Teatro Cav. Magnetto to life every winter. Located in the Salone Polivalente of Caselette, a small town in the lower Susa Valley in the Province of Turin, Piedmont, the festival is driven by a simple yet ambitious idea: to bring great theater into a small theater, giving a town of just a few thousand inhabitants the chance to meet professional, nationally-acclaimed actors and companies.

A festival that grows year by year

Organized by the cultural and theatrical association Messinscena APS, with the patronage of the Municipality of Caselette and the support of the Fondazione CRT, RassegnaT has built a loyal audience that travels not only from the town itself but from the entire western belt of Turin and the Susa Valley. The secret of its success lies in the careful programming: each season weaves together different genres—comedy, social commitment, storytelling, poetry—relying on names capable of speaking to everyone, from theater enthusiasts to those experiencing it for the first time.

Theater on a human scale

The strength of RassegnaT lies in its intimate dimension. The Teatro Cav. Magnetto is a cozy space where the distance between the stage and the audience almost vanishes, making every performance a close and direct experience. It is this proximity that makes every evening special: here, culture is not a big-city event, but a moment of growth and connection for the entire community of Caselette and the lower Susa Valley.

Comedy, social commitment, and poetry

Over the years, the festival has hosted leading figures of Italian theater, alternating the smiles of comedy and cabaret with the depth of social drama and historical storytelling. The events, typically six per season, are held on Fridays or weekends at 9:00 PM, and are accompanied by subscription options that encourage spectators to follow the entire program.
