University of Medellin Theater

University of Medellin Theater, Entertainment venue at University of Medellin, Colombia.

The University of Medellín Theater is a 1,702-seat auditorium, the largest theater in Medellín, Colombia. It opened on 26 September 1985 and in 1988 was named "Gabriel Botero Obregón" after the project's originator. It hosts music, dance and theater performances as well as business and academic events.

The theater opened on 26 September 1985 as a venue for the University of Medellín's exclusive use. In 1988 it was named "Gabriel Botero Obregón" in tribute to the project's originator. As demand grew, the university made it available for public performances, and it now seats 1,702, the largest theater capacity in Medellín.

The theater's name honours Gabriel Obregón Botero, the project's main promoter, added in 1988. Its stage has hosted international acts such as the percussion group Mayumaná, the singer Raphael, Paloma San Basilio and Bajofondo, alongside the Mexican comedian Chespirito. Programming covers music, dance and theater as well as business and academic events.

The 1,702-seat hall opened for exclusive university use and later began commercial service independent of the university, so programming ranges from music and dance to theatre, business and academic events. Check the programme before travelling, since the type of event determines the audience and access arrangements.

The theater's name honors Gabriel Botero Obregón, the project's originator, though Spanish-language sources also record the form "Gabriel Obregón Botero". The 1,702 seats make it the largest theater in Medellín, ahead of any other venue in the city.
