Hedemora Gamla Theater

Teaterladan (The barn theatre), officially Hedemora Gamla Theater (old Swedish spelling of Old Theatre of Hedemora), is a theatre and a listed building in Hedemora, Dalarna County, Sweden. It was built somewhere between 1826 and 1829 as a combined barn and theatre in three floors, with the stage and dressing rooms at the top and the storage area at the two lower floors. The first performance at the stage was a play performed by A. P. Bergmans Sällskap on February 1, 1829. From 1888 to 1910 the building was rented by the Salvation Army. When they moved, the building was left unused until 1946, when Hedemora celebrated 500 years as a stad. It was restored, and dedicated by the Crown Prince Couple Gustaf Adolf and Louise on June 20, 1946.
