Teatro da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, University theatre at Pontifical Catholic University in São Paulo, Brazil.

The Teatro da Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Sao Paulo is a theatre building on the university campus with multiple performance spaces of varying sizes. The house contains a main hall, a mid-sized space, and a smaller room that together accommodate different types of productions.

The auditorium was inaugurated on 11 September 1965, opening with a student staging of João Cabral de Melo Neto's "Morte e Vida Severina". In 1970 the Tibiriçá Auditorium took the name TUCA, after the student group. Two fires in 1984 left it destroyed; it reopened two years later and was reinaugurated with better conditions in 2003.

The name TUCA comes from the Grupo de Teatro dos Universitários da Católica, founded in 1961 by Antônio Mercado Neto and Antônio da Costa Ciampa. Its opening production, João Cabral de Melo Neto's "Morte e Vida Severina", drew 17,500 spectators over 32 sessions and won the 1966 World University Theatre Festival in France. The Auditório Tibiriçá was renamed TUCA in 1970 in reference to the group's large audience.

The building is easily accessible across the university campus and visitors can attend performances throughout the week and on weekends. It helps to plan ahead since the different venue sizes offer varying types of shows and performance times change depending on the event.

The theatre's name comes from the Grupo TUCA, the Catholic University Theatre Group, and was adopted in 1970 after the group's reach grew. Its staging of João Cabral de Melo Neto's "Morte e Vida Severina" drew 17,500 spectators over 32 sessions and won the World University Theatre Festival in France in 1966.
