The theater organizes an annual season—for example, the 2026–27 season—with productions such as Errantes (The Wanderers), Los tiempos que vivimos (The Times We Live In), and Prometeo, bufón y mártir (Prometheus, Fool and Martyr). It also offers guided tours, meet-the-artist events, training, discussions, and municipal activities. Subscriptions, gift cards, and venue rentals are available as well.

History and Significance

The Corral de Comedias in Alcalá is described as a cradle of playwrights such as Cervantes and Calderón de la Barca.
