Teatro João do Vale, Performance theater in São Luís, Brazil.

Teatro João do Vale is a performance venue in São Luís housed in a converted warehouse building at Largo do Comércio. The structure features a striking yellow facade with a triangular pediment and includes modern sound systems, air conditioning, and accessibility features inside.

The building served as a sugar warehouse before the Maranhão state government acquired it under governor Epitácio Cafeteira (1987–1990) during the Reviver Project, when it was named Teatro Canarinho. A 1995 state decree (nº 14.424) created the Espaço Cultural João do Vale. It opened as a theater in December 2001 as a training laboratory for CACEM's acting course, became a SECMA body in 2006, and was renamed Teatro João do Vale after renovation, reopening in August 2020.

The venue serves as a meeting place for local artists and audiences who gather to experience music, dance, and theatrical performances together. The shows reflect the artistic diversity of São Luís and provide a platform for emerging talent.

The theater is located on Rua da Estrela and offers accessible entrances for visitors with mobility needs. It is helpful to check the performance schedule in advance, as shows vary throughout the year.

The building was first called Teatro Canarinho after the Maranhão government bought the sugar warehouse during Epitácio Cafeteira's administration (1987–1990) under the Projeto Reviver. The name João do Vale came later, honouring the late Maranhão composer. The theatre reopened in August 2020 with a livestream concert by actor Vicente Melo, of the musical "João do Vale, o Gênio Improvável", because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
