Theatrical productions in Mexico

Overview

Theatrical productions in Mexico continue to explore diverse genres, ranging from Broadway musicals to works addressing intense social and feminist themes.

In Mexico City, recent highlights include the Broadway musical ‘La Novicia Rebelde’ (The Sound of Music) at Centro Cultural Teatro 1, featuring Bianca Marroquín, and the historical monologue ‘La Roja, Carlota Emperatriz de México’ at the Auditorio Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada. New additions to the city's stage include the monologue ‘Adriana Tristeza’ at Radio UNAM, which addresses violence against women and forced disappearance, and ‘La Celestina. De mujeres y brujas’ at the Centro Cultural Helénico.

Regional productions also feature significant works, such as Abraham Baños’s ‘(Sólo) un bosque’ at the Teatro Helénico and Colectivo AIRE’s ‘Curva Peligrosa’ in Saltillo.

Expanding on institutional collaborations, the Secretaría de Cultura and the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) have premiered ‘El eterno femenino’ at the Teatro Reforma IMSS Juan Moisés Calleja. Adapted by Mariana Hartasánchez and directed by Mahalat Sánchez, the play is based on a 1975 text by Rosario Castellanos. This co-production, which also involves INBAL, serves as part of an effort to rehabilitate public scenic infrastructure and increase the circulation of performing arts. The production is scheduled to run through October 11, 2026.
