A quarter century after the creation of La Máscara Theater (The Mask theater), it continues active and setting the pace in the performing arts in our country. Bernal García Segura is the co-founder, professor and director.
In addition to its novelty high-level acting proposals, this theatrical institution also provides a range of courses so that all people have the opportunity to discover the actor inside. 
To learn how to act is necessary to approve the four levels required by the curriculum that La Máscara Theater has prepared, with a duration of one year for each level. The first year is devoted to introduce students in the art of acting, through classroom practice, which helps to verify and measure the potential of each student.
The second level is the first assembly of a play for each student to feel the adrenaline and strengthen their talents in the stage.
In the third year, students undertake a work of magical realism where they have a very active role, because it teaches to write and perform the installation themselves, under the direction of García, the theaters’ director.
Finally on the fourth level, and as a final test, students will have the opportunity to make a classic, contemporary or universal montage, which will be presented to the public on the stage of La Máscara Theater. At this level they wil also seek for new talent, that besides having acting skills, can manage the overall direction of the staging, because it will be on their hands.
For García, an actor is not formed with a course, and must be prepared to spend several months training to achieve a good level, with much hard work and study, that’s why the dynamic is prepared in a manner where with the process it can be debugged and ensure the quality of teaching. One requirement is to be over 15 years and to have the disposition. Registration for these action courses are opened regularly, the groups do not exceed 12 people at most, to ensure quality and personalized attention at each of the classes.
