Tuusula has become a very dear place for Sanna Saarijärvi. Emmi Moilanen
Actress Sanna Saarijärvi, 52, graduated from the Theater Academy exactly 30 years ago. Currently at the Tuusula Krapi Summer Theater Mika Nuojuan controlled by Oh boy! farce star Saarijärvi states that the round figure is a kind of milestone for him.
– I was a pretty novice, 22 when I graduated. My career started with a bang, big jobs and visibility came right away and I immediately got a mortgage on the Helsinki City Theater. Even quieter years have taken place, but at the moment the work situation is good.
The summer theater stop in Tuusula is the Fifth to Saarijärvi. The actor has also lived in the locality for five years and the family’s home is a stone’s throw from the theater.
– The commute is a few minutes away, Saarijärvi laughs.
The Krapi Summer Theater is an important place for Saarijärvi not only for work but also for another reason. He celebrated with Krapi Hermanniwith their spouse in 2017. The couple searched for their dream home on Tuusula Beach Road for “several years.”
– One that would somehow be possible for our budget. Maybe it banged a bit, but not to regret for a moment, Saarijärvi bursts out laughing again.
Although the summer theater keeps the actor busy, there is also time for free time in Tuusula.
– We boat with Hermann and enjoy the wonderful sunsets on Lake Tuusula. Our Maltese Bobby Ewing has his own life jacket and Bobby enjoys boating.
– Neither of us were boaters before. My father once bought a rowing boat with an engine as a wedding present for us. That’s where it started, Saarijärvi recalls.
He goes on to say that the family is vacationing this summer mostly in domestic landscapes. Saarijärvi is happy to invite friends to the village for barbecues, and time is also spent playing golf. During the corona, he whispered to the padel.
– It raised my condition. I notice when I haven’t had time to play that I’m really looking forward to the games and missing it. It’s nice, gets a little splashes.
When the world situation has been exceptional, one thing in Saarijärvi’s mind has risen above the others.
– The important thing is that there is time for family and friends. During the corona period, the importance of close people has grown even more.
The first premiere of the summer will be celebrated at the Central Uusimaa Theater. Saarijärvi is happy that the team is doing a summer theater with a happy and very energetic grip. Rebellion
“I’m going upstream”
Due to the corona pandemic, the Saarijärvi summer theater washes were on hiatus for two years.
– Jobs were canceled, still a female lead. It caused annoyance both mentally and financially, he repeats.
Saarijärvi states that Finns are a summer theater nation. The play, which will premiere tomorrow, has attracted the interest of the audience, and according to Saarijärvi, summer theater stands are really important for the actors.
– We were one of the fields that has suffered the most. It seemed unreasonable that the other places remained open but we were the first to be locked up.
However, Saarijärvi has not been left with bitterness.
– Basically, everyone has so much joy and fire that we can do this work again. Here, too, everyone has come to work happily and energetically. Even in the rain, we’ve just laughed at how much it gets wet now.
Saarijärvi is on leave from the Helsinki City Theater during the autumn season.
– Then it’s nice to come back again, I always think it’s good to ventilate a bit. During the corona period, when there has been instability, one would think that one would not go anywhere but I have always been such that I then go upstream.

Mother and daughter
The summer theater connects Saarijärvi and the actor’s 15-year-old daughter Fanny, as Fanny works at the theater as a ticket seller. Saarijärvi sees a lot of himself in Fanny, and no wonder, as the mother and daughter seem to share the same interests in the field of sports as well.
– Fanny runs 800 meters in the Helsinki Race Show. The same journeys as I did in my youth. The race season starts on Friday and the 85-year-old will also be encouraged Helgemy father from Tampere.
Fanny also dreams of a career as an actress.
– He’s already played small roles. For Fanny, this is the third summer at Krapi and for me the Fifth. The bonus is that we get even more mother-daughter time together, which is important, Saarijärvi rejoices.
She has encouraged her children to always look forward to it. Although the direction is strictly in the future, especially in the wake of the pandemic period, Saarijärvi enthusiastically remembers the beginning of his own career.
With what words would he now encourage his younger self?
– Enjoy! Don’t stress as much as others think of you. Be proud of what you are.
In the screenings, Saarijärvi has especially enjoyed the interaction with the audience. Rebellion
Oh boy! will premiere at the Tuusula Krapi Summer Theater on June 2.
