SUMMARY:

This dissertation focuses on the Teatro Alberto Maranhao (TAM), located in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, built in 1904 as a place of theatrical memory for the state. The study presents the concept of a “Theater-Museum,” based on Beacham (1991), and relates it to TAM as both a venue for performances and a site of preservation, visitation, and education. The analysis is based on the theater’s documentary archive, particularly the registry book and theater programs (1938-1944), which provided insights into the theatrical context of the time, with special emphasis on local groups: Gremio Dramatico de Natal and Conjunto Teatral Potiguar. Additionally, the research presents documents addressing the impact of World War II in Natal, when the city served as a U.S. military base, and local cultural activities, such as dances and civil events, were held at TAM. It is concluded that TAM goes beyond its role as a stage, playing a key role in the preservation and dissemination of Potiguar theatrical memory. A guided tour based on the theater's archive from the period is recommended, as well as the implementation of preservation policies and educational actions to ensure the continuity of this cultural legacy for future generations.
