The building was built during the papacy of Pope Yousab II, the 115th, and the theater had one large conference hall that was called “Al-Qa’a Al-Yousabiyya” (The Yusabite Hall). This name lasted until Pope Kyrillos VI’s papacy in which it was changed to “St. Mark’s Hall,” especially after the return of St. Mark the Apostle’s relics to Egypt during His Holiness’ papacy, and it lasted till Pope Shenouda III’s papacy. It was used as a hall for celebrations and church activities as “St. Mark’s Theater” until H.H. Pope Tawadros II renovated and improved it to be a structure that represents and serves the See of St. Mark.
