The Port presents 14 shows: local talent takes the Theater

The Pedro Muñoz Seca Municipal Theater of El Puerto de Santa María will offer 14 shows between October and December. The season combines theater, dance, music, jazz, and flamenco, with a prominent presence of artists from El Puerto and proposals to enjoy as a family. The schedule already has dates, names, and a ticket sales system.

A season with 14 events and a local accent

What will the audience find at Pedro Muñoz Seca?

For those living in El Puerto de Santa María, the programming means more than just a succession of performances: the municipal theater concentrates a varied stage offer in a few months and, furthermore, places creators from the city at the center of several events. This combination is what defines the character of the season.

The calendar kicks off on October 30 with Nanai Pulsar, by Anita Brandolini. The physical theater proposal brings together different disciplines through the work of the artist and choreographer. Just two days later, on November 1, there will be a morning performance of the family theater The Girl Who Will Save Our World.

Theater will have a prominent presence within the programming. On November 6, Poet Lost in New York will be performed, a play by Jesús Torres written, directed, and performed by this actor from El Puerto. The production mixes Federico García Lorca’s poetry collection with the letters the author sent to his family from New York and was awarded at the latest MAX Awards.

The theater subscription will also include Road to Mecca, scheduled for November 13, starring Lola Herrera, Natalia Dicenta, and Carlos Olalla. The play raises a reflection on freedom and on every individual’s right to live as they wish.

What role do artists from El Puerto play?

The cycle From El Puerto. Performing Arts is designed to support the city’s cultural industry and its professionals. The formula is straightforward: their new productions are showcased at the Municipal Theater, before the local audience and within the official season programming.

This is where one of the keys of this edition appears. The theater not only features well-known names; it also serves as a showcase for artists who develop their work in El Puerto. The programming turns the municipal stage into a window for local creation, a decision especially visible in flamenco and jazz.

On November 7, dancer Jaime Cala will present Desde el origen (From the Origin), his latest creation. The show pays tribute to the flamenco tradition of El Puerto and will feature local singers El Wilo, Selu Torres, and sisters Aroa and Nazaret Cala.

The cycle will continue on December 4 with Bazz Chamber. Jazz musicians Polo Rodal and Fernando Vargas, along with singer Carmela Patiño, will combine jazz and classical music through arias and Baroque songs performed from a jazz perspective. An unusual mix, but with a very defined identity.

Theater, flamenco, and music for different audiences

Which works are included in the Theater subscription?

The subscription brings together three performances: Poet Lost in New York on November 6; Road to Mecca on November 13; and Casting Lear on December 11. For the viewer, the proposal mixes a creation linked to El Puerto with two productions from performers and teams with extensive experience.

The third appointment will be Casting Lear, by Andrea Jiménez, who was honored in 2025 with the MAX Awards for Best Show and Best Play. The work deconstructs the universe of King Lear from a critical and contemporary perspective. The tone, according to the program presentation, will be irreverent.

The season, therefore, is not limited to a single register. There is literary adaptation, reflection on freedom, and a renewed reading of Shakespeare. Three titles, three approaches, and the same auditorium as a meeting point.

What flamenco and music proposals appear in the calendar?

Flamenco will have several performances during December. On the 6th, Flamenco Christmas with Peña El Nitri will take place, with artists from Jerez, El Puerto, and the province of Cádiz. Artistic and musical direction will be in charge of guitarist Paco León.

On December 12, guitarist Jesule del Puerto will present To the Rhythm of El Puerto for Christmas. The show will bring together about fifteen flamenco artists on stage and will use a repertoire of carols to recreate a Christmas with a strong local character.

The Maestro Dueñas Music Band will also have a double engagement with the public. Its first concert will be the Santa Cecilia concert on November 14, and the second, the Christmas Concert, will arrive on December 19.

The variety is completed with the educational concert eJazz: Women Who Made History, by the Seville band O Sister! The activity is part of Abecedaria and is aimed exclusively at the city’s educational centers and schools. It is not, therefore, a performance open to the general public.

Family dates and ticket purchase

Which shows are designed for children and families?

Families will have three theater and dance options. The first will be The Girl Who Will Save Our World, on November 1, a morning performance. Then will come River of Moon, by DA.TE. Danza, on November 15, and the puppet show Paper Boat on November 29.

The selection allows alternating formats and ages: family theater, dance, and puppetry. In a season with names like Lola Herrera, Andrea Jiménez, or Jaime Cala, these shows reserve a space for the youngest spectators. And that changes the kind of plan: here culture is also organized as a family.

The performances will start at 8:00 p.m., except for the Sunday morning shows, scheduled at 12:30 p.m. The O Sister! concert for educational centers is outside this general sales logic, as it is reserved for schools in El Puerto.

When can subscriptions be renewed or purchased?

Subscribers from the previous season will be able to renew their seats for the three theatrical performances on Thursday, October 22, and Friday, October 23. The procedure will take place at the Municipal Theater box office, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Those who want to subscribe for the first time will have to wait from Saturday, October 24 to Monday, October 26. New subscriptions can be purchased through the website elpuertodesantamaria.sacatuentrada.es. According to the City Council, this option allows for an approximate 20% saving compared to buying tickets individually.

Single ticket sales for the theater performances and other shows will begin on Tuesday, October 27. Tickets can be bought at the theater box office, during the mentioned evening hours, and also through the theater’s website.

El Puerto concentrates 14 shows in three months and bets on programming that combines well-known names, family proposals, and creators from the city. Pedro Muñoz Seca will be a stage for theater, dance, jazz, music, and flamenco, with an agenda especially linked to the local identity and several marked dates already set to organize the plan.
