Teatre Municipal de l'Escorxador

Teatre Municipal de l'Escorxador (Catalan for Slaughterhouse Theatre) is a theatre on carrer de Lluís Companys, in the Templers-Instituts quarter of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain.

It's remarkable for its striking modernista-Art Nouveau architecture, unusual for a former slaughterhouse, a work by the Tarragona-born architect Francesc de Paula Morera i Gatell, nowadays refurbished and complete with some 1990s additions.

It was heavily damaged during the Spanish Civil War bombings.

The Aula Municipal del Teatre de Lleida is a publicly operated theatre school comprising courses both aimed at children and adults, including Studies in Dramatic Art, and a member of the Associació Catalana d'Escoles de Teatre (ACET).

La Inestable 21 is the young people's theatre company of the school.
