Teatro Sánchez Aguilar, Modern theatre in Samborondón, Ecuador.

Teatro Sánchez Aguilar is a modern theater building in Samborondón with two performance spaces of different sizes. The main hall accommodates around 950 spectators while the smaller experimental space seats approximately 150 people.

The Sánchez Aguilar Foundation, created in 1989 under the motto "Educar es Liberar", began by granting secondary-school scholarships in Guayaquil and later added medical dispensaries and community projects. Its president, Carlos Sánchez Aguilar, had acquired land in Samborondón over 40 years earlier; one plot was reserved for a non-profit cultural project. Construction of the theater took 18 months and it opened in 2012.

The theater serves as a gathering place where the community experiences performances from both local and visiting artists throughout the year. It plays an active role in the city's cultural calendar by hosting diverse artistic presentations.

The building includes parking facilities on-site and is equipped with accessibility features for visitors with disabilities. When planning a visit, it is helpful to know that the two halls host different types of events.

The design came from the American firm Perkins Eastman, which has offices in Toronto, Shanghai, Dubai and Mumbai. The theatre cost about 12 million dollars, took 18 months to build and stands on a 24,000-square-metre plot, with 6,100 square metres built.
