Until well into the twentieth century, the theater did not have an official use, if only two to three times a year was made some important presentation, the rest of the time served for dances of the upper class of Quito, weddings, end of year events of schools and schools and even served for private parties. The first film function held in this space was in 1901. Over time its use was limited to artistic presentations primarily.

The theater is currently under the administration of the Teatro Nacional Sucre Foundation as well as the space of its square, the Plaza del Teatro, in which it organizes continuously predominantly musical events, outdoors and open to the general public.
