Its resident theater company has made a niche for itself in Madrid's theater world by presenting plays by major international playwrights (mainly English), along with classical Spanish drama and occasional alternative pieces. The company is directed by José Luis Gómez who has brought together a group of talented young actors and actresses and led them to great success. The building stands on the remains of a church and abbey, hence the name. In fact, what is now the auditorium roof was the church's original domed ceiling.
