The many theatres and performing art centers in Florida have long provided audiences with an up-close and personal entertainment experience. Even before the advent of television, live theatre was comedy and drama 'in the moment' creating an intimate and unique memory with every performance. How many actors or dancers recall that very special time and place when they first saw themselves bowing to an appreciative audience. Theatres and performing art centers all over Florida provide that magic carpet that can transport us to other times and other places just as they have for generations creating a lifetime love of the arts in all their various forms. For Florida residents already well acquainted with the performing arts and need no convincing, perhaps you may discover in this list a Theatre or Performing Art Center in Florida you may not have heard about. For others who may have never been formally introduced to live theatre or maybe just not the ones in this state, hopefully this list will aid you as well in finding a Theatre or Performing Art Center in Florida near you.
