Caja Negra, a professional theater company in San Miguel de Allende, has staged productions in several venues around town with great success. Now, the company is building its own home in the historic Casa de la Noche in Centro San Miguel. Leases and permits are signed and building is underway including stage, seating, lights, sound, green room and other infrastructure.
Caja Negra Performing Arts” will offer year-round, first-class entertainment presenting theater, music, dance and the spoken word as well as a Young Peoples Theater School teaching acting and stagecraft. For the first time, San Miguel will have a resident, repertory theater company with its own home
Why another theater venue?
Alan Jordan, Artistic Director of Caja Negra, explained in a recent interview that the performance space will not be in competition with other venues, but a home for Caja Negra, where the resident theater company can freely plan, produce and perform their work without limits on rehearsals, set building, etc., found in borrowed venues. Caja Negra will also foster young, up-and-coming talent through its Young People’s Theater School.
