Broadway it is not, but this character-filled wooden building houses a charming 166-seat theater. Founded in 1950 by a group of Panamanian and American artists, it now serves as Panama’s longest-running theater and stages a range of good English-language performances from improvisational comedy to classic dramas such as Clue. During the interval a makeshift bar is erected on the veranda and beers and spirits are served.
