Severino Cabral Municipal Theatre, Municipal theatre in Campina Grande, Brazil.
The Severino Cabral Municipal Theatre is a modern building on Avenida Floriano Peixoto in central Campina Grande, with 4,816 m² of floor area. Its main hall was expanded in 1988 to 586 seats, and it also has 58 box seats, a 400 m² stage, 10 dressing rooms, and an art gallery. The design by Geraldino Pereira Duda was inspired by a whistle or flute mouthpiece.
The theatre opened in 1963 after local artists had long performed in cinema venues throughout the city. This establishment marked a turning point for the local arts scene, finally providing a dedicated space for performances and presentations.
The venue serves as a gathering place where local performers present their work and residents connect through theatre, dance, and art exhibitions. Visitors notice how the spaces support both professional productions and community members developing their artistic skills.
The theatre is located in central Campina Grande on Floriano Peixoto Avenue and is easy to reach. Since the complex houses different performance spaces and facilities, it helps to check ahead for what events or activities are scheduled during your visit.
The building's shape was not planned as a conventional theatre: designer Geraldino Pereira Duda modelled it on a whistle or the mouthpiece of a flute, since music inspires art. The central auditorium was enlarged to 586 seats in 1988, during Ronaldo Cunha Lima's administration.
