context: Many old articles state that the theatre was built in the city park, but this is not true. Borås old theatre was inaugurated on 6 September 1873 with the performance "The Wedding at Ulfåsa" and at that time there was no city park. The first theatre building did not look the way most Borås citizens saw it, the theatre got its final design in 1900. The cost of building the theatre was SEK 21,000 and was paid by the privately owned Teaterbolaget. In 1923 the municipality took over the theatre. On the night of 4 December 1983, the theatre was demolished, despite strong opposition from many Borås citizens.
context: I många gamla artiklar framhålls det att teatern byggdes i stadsparken men det stämmer inte. Borås gamla teater invigdes 6 september 1873 med föreställningen "Bröllopet på Ulfåsa" och vid denna tidpunkt fanns ännu ingen stadspark. Den första teaterbyggnaden såg inte ut på det vis som de flesta boråsare fick se den, sin slutliga utformning fick teatern år 1900. Kostnaden för teaterbygget uppgick till 21 000 kronor och betalades av privatägda Teaterbolaget. 1923 övertog kommunen teatern. Natten den 4 december 1983 revs teatern, detta trots hårt motstånd från många boråsare. @sv
