Teatro Garrett, Municipal theater in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal
Teatro Garrett occupies a permanent stone building in the Junqueira district, featuring architectural elements representative of late 19th century Portuguese design.
The theater opened its doors on August 22, 1873, initially constructed as a wooden structure by five citizens from Porto before transitioning to stone in 1890.
The venue takes its name from Portuguese playwright Almeida Garrett, who created Frei Luís de Sousa after watching a performance in Póvoa de Varzim.
The theater presents regular programming including film screenings, theatrical productions, concerts, and festivals throughout the calendar year at Rua José Malgueira.
Following an extensive renovation period between 2005 and 2014, the theater reopened under direct management of the Póvoa de Varzim City Hall.
