The theater, originally named Corral de Comedias, was established in April 1788. It was renovated in 1826 and 1831, adopting a neoclassical style with a green quarry façade. The structure features a porch with Tuscan columns, a staircase, and a lintel arch, along with balconies. It became a movie theater and was destroyed by fire in 1921. A new theater was built under Jose Aguilar y Maya and inaugurated on September 16, 1955. Now managed by the University of Guanajuato, it serves as a cultural venue with a seating capacity of 355.
