In 1972 the Arlequín (Harlequin) Theater was reaffirmed as one of the most important groups of Costa Rica. Its first work was “La vida es un sueño” (Life is a dream). Later, that same year, the group announced the construction of their own “Chamber Hall”. As a first offering at its new home, the production of the Arlequín presents “The Toothbrush”(El Cepillo de Dientes) by Jorge Diaz, which filled the theater night after night.
The theater enjoyed a good year in 1973. The main groups of all programs, set up and provided the public with a variety of options worthy of praise. During 143 days, of 194 days of the season, the new Arlequín Theater stayed busy. Almost 10,000 performances to see five of its productions were shown through the small Arlequín Theater scene.
As in 1973, Arlequín was kept busy with the opening of six plays, including “The ginecomaquia” (La ginecomaquia) or “The Struggle of Women” (La lucha de las mujeres) by the Mexican author Hugo Hiriart. By 1975, the Arlequín theater had managed a repertory that included more than 15 plays.
Perhaps this is the most important theater group of the country with over 250 shows, its permanence and continuity has helped start a theater with a tradition of high quality drama for the benefit of Costa Rica.
