San Miguel Playhouse is a not-for-profit theatrical company; it is also the name of the company’s theater building. The building was formerly in Col. Independencia, but its new location is a never-used structure in Col. La Luz being adapted as a theater and concert hall.
Founded in 2014, the A.C.’s original mission was to present English-language theatrical productions. A major shift in mission occurred in 2017 when San Miguel Playhouse joined forces with La Troupe México, the only purely bilingual theater company in Mexico. A supertitle system, common to opera houses but rare in legitimate theaters, was installed, and the A.C. made its productions intelligible to Spanish and English-speakers alike. The A.C.’s mission ever since has been a social experiment – to use the power of live theater to unite people of different cultural backgrounds.
The new theater and concert hall will be available for use not only by San Miguel Playhouse, A.C., but by any number of reputable event providers in San Miguel and elsewhere, for the presentation of live theater, live music, film, dance, conferences, holiday pageants, school talent shows, and so forth. Hence, the other half of the A.C.’s mission is to give the community a well-constructed performance space, critical at a time when San Miguel’s available venues are decreasing in number.
