Teatro Universidad de Concepción, Academic theater in Concepción, Chile

Teatro Universidad de Concepción occupies the former Teatro Central in the Edificio Olivieri, facing the Plaza de la Independencia. Its auditorium seats 1,122 people across three levels: 537 in the lower stalls, 270 in the upper stalls and 315 in the balcony. The stage measures about 94 square metres.

The building began as Teatro Concepción in 1885 and joined the University of Concepción in 1928. It was later relocated to its current site following damage from the 1960 earthquake.

The theatre's programme includes the "Lunes Cinematográficos" film screenings, held on Mondays since 2013 after previously running as "Martes Cinematográficos" on Tuesdays. It also stages theatre, concerts and films, and since 1963 has hosted part of the university's annual Escuela de Verano, which opened the relocated hall on 7 January 1963.
