There has always been a lot of interest and passion for the theatre in Mataró. That  is why, in addition to the regular theatre and dance programming of the Monumental Theatre, the education and the creation support are the main objective of the cultural action of the city.

The "Aula de Teatre" (Theater Class) celebrates its 25th anniversary, and it is a reference point for the whole country. Youngsters from the secondary schools of the city work during the year in a common project that finishes in the Young Theater Festival, in June. The Monumental Theatre has a resident company "Art Trànsit Dansa", a dance company of international projection which involves its work  with the activities of the city. And the Scenic Creation awards are held annually, to carry out the scenic projects of young creators.
