His theatrical experience is very broad. For three years he participated in the productions of the company that his brother Fernando created with the actress Aitana Sánchez Gijón and for one of them, "Entre bobos anda el juego", won the ERCILLA REVELACION DE TEATRO AWARD. He then moves on to the National Classical Theatre Company under Adolfo Marsillach, where he plays Cervantes and Lope de Vega for another three years. Jaime Chávarri stars in David Auburn's text, "La Prueba", with which she is six months successful in Madrid and another half year of tour throughout the country and becomes the protagonist of the theatrical adaptation of "Amar en tiempos revueltos" which she represents with great success for a year and a half on stages throughout Spain.

His latest works in theater also receive critical and public acclaim. On the one hand, "Fuegos", a text by Marguerite Yourcenar directed by José María Pou, premiered at the International Classical Theatre Festival in Mérida and was later performed at the Grec in Barcelona and the San Javier Theatre Festival. And, on the other hand, "El Malentendido", a play in which Cayetana is the protagonist as well as a co-producer with the National Dramatic Center and Pentación, which fills every day at the Valle-Inclán theater to return, months later and after having been a great success in the tour that goes through the main municipalities of Spain, to El Matadero in Madrid.
