Dating back to 1736, the Santa Ana Theater originally housed the Recollection of Midwives and Maidens and the College of Girls of Santa Ana. After closing in 1862 and serving as a Municipal Rastro until 1957, it was offered by the Government of Guanajuato to the Public Library of San Miguel de Allende, A.C., in 1958. Inaugurated as a theater on October 25, 1998, with Hector Lee Master’s Spoon River, it now hosts a diverse array of events, including plays, operas, music, dance, children’s shows, festivals, cinema, conferences, and assemblies.
