It was disheartening when the forces of corporate interests forced them out of their historic home, depriving the public of a cultural force.

🏛️ A Beautiful Legacy in a Historic Setting: The loss of Estrella Hall was indeed a sad chapter in Lisbon’s long history as patrons of the arts.

🏢 New Beginnings in Lisbon’s Theatrical Landscape: However, true to the spirit of resilience, the Lisbon Players Theatre found a new home at ADCEO. This new venue is currently undergoing renovations, promising an exciting future for the group but alas that was not to be as the troupe were again evicted for no discernible reason. At time of writing the troupe are now touring the theatres of Lisbon with great success having made an extraordinary comeback in the face of adversity.

Since 1947, this amateur theatre group has been a trailblazer, offering captivating performances and enriching the city. They hold an average of 4-6 performances and staged readings and I have been to a great many! Macbeth at Estrlla Hall was a particular favourite,
