2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Coyoacán, Mexico City

Since 2005, this fabulous little cabaret theater and bar has been delighting crowds with irreverent, original shows, often with a decidedly queer and provocatively political bent.

Founded in 1953 by the gay playwright and poet Salvador Novo, who's sometimes referred to as Mexico's Oscar Wilde, this intimate theater hosts a wide range of mostly contemporary indie plays. Productions rotate often, and there's something going on virtually every night of the week. It's one of the best small theaters in the city, and many performances are geared to kids and teens. There's also a bar and restaurant attached.
