Teatro Miguel Franco

What Teatro Miguel Franco does

Teatro Miguel Franco is a theater and performance venue located in Leiria, Portugal. It is not an independent company but operates as one of multiple venue spaces managed by Teatro José Lúcio da Silva, E.M.S.A. (Empresa Municipal), a municipal company owned and supervised by the Câmara Municipal de Leiria (Leiria City Council). The parent organization was inaugurated on January 15, 1966, as a benefactor project of José Lúcio da Silva, designed by architects Carlos M. Ramos and José Bruschy, and has held membership in m|i|mo (museum of the moving image) within the Portuguese Museum Network since 2004.

Teatro Miguel Franco is part of a diversified venue network that also includes the main 763-seat Teatro José Lúcio da Silva, Black Box, Cineteatro de Monte Real, and five outdoor cinema locations (Carvide, Jardim da Memória - Maceira, Lagoa da Ervedeira, Parque do Avião, Parque Olímpio Duarte Alves – Monte Real). Its programming, visible on the unified platform teatrojlsilva.pt, spans music concerts (Concerto de Professores LizBrass'26), cinema, theater, dance, stand-up comedy, and baby concerts. Operations at the venue are supported by a small team including Technical/Safety Coordination, Stage Direction, and Front of House roles, all reporting under the parent municipal entity.

Revenue is generated primarily through event ticket sales via the integrated Bilheteira (online ticketing) platform, with a 6% internet operation cost added to ticket prices plus 23% VAT. The venue is also exposed through the Aluguer de Salas (Space Rental) service for external event producers, with technical riders and floor plans available. Marketing is consolidated on the TJLS website with event filtering by venue, type, and date. The organization maintains a Supervisory Board (Fiscal Único) with Oliveira, Reis & Associados, SROC, LDA, and receives cultural patronage from Caixa de Crédito de Leiria.
