Community of Madrid

  ÑAS TEATRO is formed by Paula Portilla and Manolo Carretero, actors, creators and co-directors of the company. Both of us have been committed to this artistic work and we have been carrying out our activity since 2003, being in April 2017 when a registration was made and we became a community of goods to appear within the legal administrative framework. 

ÑAS TEATRO is a company that is committed to the Performing Arts in all its breadth. It uses different techniques in its productions, creating a very personal style of constructing, narrating, creating and telling stories, focusing on themes that are close to and inspired by life itself, sharing experiences and encouraging more and more families to come to the theatre with their children or babies and enjoy a shared experience.

    Most of our productions have had a great repercussion within the theatrical educational framework and have been performed in several educational centres, halls and theatres inside and outside the community of Madrid.
