Since its inauguration in 1939, the University of Puerto Rico’s Theater has been one of the main cultural institutions in the country. It has served as the cornerstone and frame of reference for the island’s music, drama, and academic scene. UPR Theater stands out as one of the most elegant and emblematic venues in the Caribbean with the potential for global recognition and distinction.
For the past 80 years, UPR Theater has been the stage for numerous significant cultural events at the university, a spotlight for musicians and orchestras, and a scenic space for major plays and musicals. In its role as the Aula Magna of the Río Piedras campus, the Theater has hosted many great thinkers, scientists, and professionals whom have given prestige throughout its trajectory. In 2006 and 2018, the Theater was restored, placing it on the cutting edge of modern times and increasing its productive capacity.
Our purpose is to bring major projects, concerts, theater plays, and masterclasses to life, but more importantly, that UPR Theater continues to serve as a practical lab for students in drama, music, and other fields. It is our wish to keep producing work for our local artists, and continue documenting Puerto Rico’s cultural history. We invite you to contribute to the development of musical productions and theater plays.
