CUR which means compañía universitaria de repertorio;
Arlequin. This two groups are most common to set contemporary plays and a words with medieval plays, specially cervantes.

All these groups have their own stages with very colonial scenery speamlly the one used by comicos de la legua, which is an open door stage.

Musical Groups.

The university has two estudiantinas, a male and a female. the first one is older and has won many prices in national and latin american contests. both of the estudiantinas are made up of students from different carriers and once again they are the reflect of a spanish tradition brought by the spaniers.
Another interesting group at the university is "El Costumbre" which is a group doing musical research and rescuing the prehispanic music, instruments and dances. They have great results and trough different presentations they share them with the people.
There are other musical gruops worth mentioning like the Romanza Queretana, Voces, etc. not to mention the various dance groups that are form at the school of fine arts and have among the objectives to preserve folk dance and promote contemporary dance.
