Venue
Teatro Santa Ana, located within the Biblioteca Pública at Insurgentes 25 in downtown San Miguel de Allende, is an intimate cultural venue with a rich and layered history. The building dates back to the mid-1700s, originally serving as a home for women and girls before becoming the city’s municipal slaughterhouse and, in 1958, a center for community learning. The theater itself was inaugurated in 1998, quickly becoming a beloved space for drama, music, dance, film, and special events. With its modern amenities and warm atmosphere, Teatro Santa Ana continues to foster artistic creativity and community engagement in the heart of the city.
