Teatro Luis Poma is a theater located within the Metrocentro shopping center in San Salvador, featuring an Italian-style hall with seating for around 227 people. The venue hosts various types of performances throughout the year.
The venue was established in 2003 as a cultural space in a converted auditorium that once belonged to the San Salvador Electric Light Company. This transformation gave new purpose to the historic building.
The venue hosts a range of theatrical productions from classical to contemporary works and serves as a gathering place for the local arts community. The Poma Foundation continues to support its programming efforts.
Access is through the Metrocentro shopping center, which offers parking and nearby dining options for visitors. It is useful to plan visits with the center's hours in mind since the theater is located within it.
The space was developed through private foundation support and represents an example of adaptive reuse of industrial space for cultural purposes. This model of cultural sponsorship through private initiative has shaped the city's arts landscape.
