| dbo:abstract | In Mexico and the Southwestern United States, the carpa (Spanish: "tent", from the Quechua karpa) theater flourished during the 1920s and 1930s. Like its American counterpart vaudeville, performance materials were varied, including comedic sketches, puppet shows, political satire, acrobatics, and dance. Its name comes from the removable canvas-roofed structure, like that of circuses, used for the theaters' traveling tours through towns and cities. Unlike classic circuses, they offered very simple theater performances without elaborate scenery that were humorous or satirical, often musical, and close to the genre of popular magazines. They emerged in the Mexican capital and then in other cities of the country, replacing the "theater of the rich," whose functions had little or nothing to do with the plain people and whose prices were out of reach of their money. Some well-known carpas include Carpa Valentina and . In the United States, , , and La Carpa García were the best-known. In order to be successful on the carpa stage, an actor had to establish an immediate rapport with the audience and get laughs quickly or risk being booed off stage. This limited the portrayals to stock characters. However, many who allowed their personalities to shine through the characters and who developed a knack for improvisation later found success in the cinema of Mexico, helping to create its Golden Age. (en) Las carpas mexicanas fueron un tipo de teatro ambulante muy popular en México a inicios del siglo XX, hasta su práctica desaparición a fines de la década de 1960.No se sabe quien prohibió las presentaciones. Su nombre responde al de la infraestructura desmontable, portátil y con techo de lona, como la de los circos, empleada para sus giras itinerantes por pueblos y ciudades. A diferencia de los circos clásicos, representaban una mezcla de números de teatro muy sencillos (sin gran elaboración escénica), humorísticos o satíricos, musicales y cercanos al género de las revistas populares. Surgieron en la capital mexicana y luego en otras ciludades del país, en sustitución del "teatro de los ricos", cuyas funciones poco o nada tenían que ver con el pueblo llano y cuyos precios estaban fuera del alcance de su dinero.
