Dolphy Theatre


Dolphy Theatre is a proscenium theatre adjacent in the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in Quezon City, Philippines. It was named in honor of Filipino comedian Dolphy in celebration of his 80th birthday in 2008. It is one of the oldest studios of the Broadcast Center which was used as a newsroom in 1986 when the network re-opened.
The theatre is used by Star Magic. Press conferences, award nights and other events are also held in the venue.
On February 27, 2025, ABS-CBN announced in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange that it will sell most of the Broadcast Center to Ayala Land for redevelopment, pending regulatory approval, while retaining 1.4 hectares of the property where it will consolidate its operations along with its already built soundstages, post-production and production facility at the Horizon PEZA IT Park in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. Dolphy Theatre is among the studios included in the sale. The deal will take effect in December 2026. On August 20, 2025, ABS-CBN and Ayala Land have signed the deeds of absolute sale for the purchase of the sold properties.
