The project has been discussed by the neighbors during the visit, and has received the good reception of the councilman, who has considered that it could even serve as part of a tourist route for different points of interest in the localities of the area in the Sierra Minera and the Mar Menor.

In his statements he congratulated the Association of Neighbors for having achieved this enlargement which was one of their demands.

The renovation works, carried out by the architect José Manuel Chacón, have been made in the area of ​​the patio of armchairs with the aim of increasing visibility and capacity.

The floor of the patio, which was previously almost horizontal, has been tilted so that the stage can be perfectly seen from any armchair.

This way, a claim is solved especially of the children's audience, for which much of the annual program is destined and that it had difficulty to see the scene from the last rows.

On the other hand the arrangement of the seats has been reorganized so that it has managed to increase the seating capacity by 40% in this part of the theater, from 110 to 150 seats.
