Who we are:
The Theatre Guild of Ancon was founded in 1950 by a group of Panamanian and American citizens interested in developing English-language theatre in Panama. Our productions cover the full theatrical spectrum—from modern, controversial dramas to comedies, family entertainment, and musicals. Our stage has been a starting point for performers like Robert Loggia and Rubén Blades, as well as for successful directors like Bruce Quinn. We are the theatre with the longest continuous run in the country.
Why you should join:
The Theatre Guild of Ancon is the only volunteer-run theatre of its kind in Panama. We serve as a training ground for future performers and technicians in the theatre arts, a space for everyone to exercise their creative talents, and a place for those seeking quality English-language theatre to enjoy. Our goal is to provide a creative outlet for all.
