Teaterladan ("theatre barn"[1]), 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[2] and 1829[3] by a Hedemora wholesale dealer as a combined warehouse in the bottom two levels and theatre in the third level.[3][1] The first performance at the stage was a play performed by A. P. Bergmans Sällskap on February 1, 1829.[4] The middle level also had dressing rooms.[5]

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.[3] The building is a listed building since October 1964.[6]
