Miami Performance and Theaters Across Miami

By Maria Cabrera


The Miami area promotes a diverse offering of theaters, both large and small, new and old. Those that are accustomed to the cultural arts of towns as New York and Chicago will feel comfortable in Miami. These are some of the more well-known theaters in Miami. With the thriving arts scene in Miami, there's something for everyone.

Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

More typically called the Arsht Center, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is actually a campus of several theaters in Miami. The Arsht Center is home to one of the largest performing arts theaters Miami has to offer, as well as amongst the largest concert halls in Miami. Formerly known as the Carnival Center, the center was retitled in 2008 after local businessman and philanthropist Adrienne Arsht. He generously donated 30 million dollars to the theater, which authorized it to remain open. The 2 most important theaters in the center are Ziff Ballet Opera House and Knight Concert Hall, both which can hold over 2000 patrons. The Arsht Center hosts performances from elaborate Broadway shows, opera, ballet, symphony orchestras, and countless performers and baby-kissers.

Actor's Playhouse at the Miracle Theater

People who love musical theater will feel right at home in the Actor's Playhouse at the Miracle Theater. The Actor's Theatre hosts a bunch of past Broadway and off Broadway shows every year. Of special note is the Children's Program, which brings well-loved books to life on the stage for youngsters of all ages.

Gusman Performing Arts Center

The Olympic Theater at the Gusman Performing Arts Center is regarded as a landmark by many in the arts community. Few theaters in Miami have a longer history than Gusman. Originally a silent film theater in the 20's, the Gusman has just lately undergone a re-building and now hosts a range of performances, including pictures, concerts, ballet, and theater. Many patrons love the Gusman because of its Spanish-influenced architecture, and some feel a sense of communion sitting in a space occupied by so many during the past.

Fillmore Miami Beach

The Fillmore is probably one of the more contemporary concert halls in Miami. In the 60's, the Fillmore Miami Beach hosted well-known shows like the Dick Clark Show and the Ed Sullivan show. Over the years the theater has gone through one or two reincarnations, but currently is mainly a performance stage for musical acts. Both well-known and hot artists perform at the Fillmore. The art deco style design makes this locale quintessentially Miami Beach.

GableStage

Edgy, modern theater has a home at GableStage. Previously called the Florida Shakespeare Theater, GableStage today shows world premieres of original shows, off-Broadway shows, and Shakespeare performances. GableStage also produces an educational programme each year, which includes Shakespeare performances as well as traditionally relevant shows.
