Divadlo Na Prádle, Chamber theatre in central Prague, Czech Republic.
Divadlo Na Prádle is a small theatre on Besední Street 487/3 in Malá Strana, Prague 1, sharing its building with the Czech Music Fund foundation. It stages its own productions alongside guest performances by amateur and professional companies, and also runs a gallery and a café.
The building in Besední street served Umělecká beseda from 1926, and in April 1927 the DaDa group led by Jiří Frejka and E. F. Burian performed here, followed on 19 April 1927 by the premiere of Vest pocket revue by Voskovec and Werich. After the war the house briefly held a theatre and then a cinema. Divadlo Na Prádle opened here in early 2001, closed from August 2002 after floods and reconstruction, and reopened in 2003.
The venue operates as a shared space for multiple theatre companies, creating an environment where both established and emerging performers showcase their work. This collaborative approach shapes how the stage is used by different artistic groups.
The theatre is located near Old Town attractions and is easily accessible by public transport. The venue offers online ticket purchasing through its website and provides regular updates about upcoming performances.
The building at Besední 487/3 is shared with the Czech Music Fund Foundation, and the theatre also runs its own gallery and café. Until 2008 it served as the home stage of the Association of Lonely Songwriters, led by Jan Burian.
