The Miami area promotes a wide offering of theatres, both little and large, old and new. Those who are used to the performing arts of cities like New York and Chicago will feel right at home in the Miami area. These are some of the more well-known theaters in Miami. With the prospering arts scene in Miami, there's something for everyone.

Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

More generally called the Arsht Center, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is really a campus of several theaters in Miami. The Arsht Center is home to one of the biggest performing humanities theaters Miami has to offer, as well as one of the biggest concert halls in Miami. Previously known as the Carnival Center, the center was renamed in 2008 after local entrepreneur and charitable humanitarian Adrienne Arsht. He freely donated 30 million bucks to the theater, which allowed it to stay open. The two largest theaters in the center are the Ziff Ballet Opera House and the 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 glad-handers.

Actor's Playhouse at the Miracle Theater

People who love musical theater will feel at home in the Actor's Playhouse at the Miracle Theater. The Actor's Playhouse 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 kids of any age.

Gusman Performing Arts Center

The Olympic Theater at the Gusman Performing Arts Center is thought of 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 recently undergone a refurbishment and now hosts a range of performances, including flicks, 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 one of the newer 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 undergone 1 or 2 reincarnations, but now is generally 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 a tutorial program each year, which includes Shakespeare performances as well as historically topical shows.
