Teatro Blanquita, Theater in Cuauhtémoc, Mexico.
Teatro Blanquita is a theater building in Mexico City's Cuauhtémoc borough with a large auditorium seating over 2000 people. The main hall features a substantial stage designed for major productions and diverse live performances.
The building opened on August 27, 1960 on land where Circo Orrín had previously operated during the 1800s. Its founders financed the project using National Lottery funds to establish this major entertainment venue.
The venue hosts Mexican variety shows featuring ranchera singers, cabaret performers, and television personalities who draw local and visiting audiences. The stage serves as a platform for traditional Mexican entertainment that remains popular today.
The location is centrally situated and easy to reach by public transportation with metro and bus options nearby. Visitors should check in advance about current programming and any access requirements for the building.
The theater was established by writers Margo Su and Felix Cervantes and named after Blanca Eva Cervantes, Felix's relative. This personal connection gives the venue a name rooted in a specific local story.
