Broadway and Beyond in Fort Myers
From a sunny day on the beach to the bright lights of Broadway, discover how coastal charm meets world-class theater in Fort Myers. You’ll experience the best of all worlds as you start your day paddling through mangroves or strolling seashell-lined beaches and ending up at a Broadway show, a renowned symphony orchestra or other live plays from Southwest Florida’s premier performing arts venues. See what’s coming up this season and beyond.
Get ready for the Fort Myers debut of the Tony Award–winning “Come From Away.” The national touring production will be at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, a 1,874-seat theater that’s home to some of the most prominent performances in Southwest Florida. Other upcoming Broadway productions include “Funny Girl” and “A Beautiful Noise,” while other exciting nights feature top-tier comics, performances from the Gulf Coast Symphony and nostalgic tribute bands.
In the heart of the historic River District, members of the Florida Repertory Theatre have been impressing theatergoers since 1998. The Arcade Theatre was once a classic vaudeville house and movie theater and has since been revitalized into the stunning home of Florida Rep. The more intimate ArtStage Studio Theatre is a perfect companion for smaller productions. Look forward to the murder mystery “Lucky Stiff” and a comedy tribute to Florida retirees in “Boca.”
It’s an easy hop from a favorite local attraction to a night of entertainment at Players Circle Theater. Located next to the Shell Factory & Nature Park, this intimate theater seamlessly transforms into a nightclub after dark. Check out upcoming performances of the multiaward–winning play “Admissions,” a month-long production of “The Fantasticks” and other gems from this ensemble theater.
There’s always something to look forward to at Cultural Park Theatre, known as the largest community theater in Southwest Florida. Since its inception in 1963, locals have grown this Cape Coral theater into a beloved landmark, where you can check out premier productions such as Broadway’s “Something Rotten!” coming this winter.
Prepare to be dazzled on stage and at the table at Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre in Fort Myers. Dine inside the main stage theater as you enjoy professional performances of “Chicago the Musical,” “Waitress,” “Legally Blonde the Musical,” and “Annie.” You can also check out plays in the more intimate Off Broadway Palm Theatre and the dedicated Children’s Theatre, along with a series of tribute bands.
