Francisco Covarrubias (1775 in Havana – 1850) was a Cuban actor and a dramatist known as "the father of Cuban theatre".[1] Covarrubias was notable in the history of the music of Cuba through his involvement in the early days of Cuban musical theatre. He has a memorial plaque at the National Theater of Cuba where the second-largest auditorium, the Covarrubias Hall, is named after him.
