Central Florida’s theatre scene is lively and features many performances throughout the year in Winter Haven, Lakeland, Lake Wales and Haines City.
Theatre Winter Haven
The star of our shows is Florida’s most honored community theatre, Theatre Winter Haven. This theatre hosts more than 120 performances per year and features six mainstage productions each season, a Theatre Academy program, numerous Tribute Tuesday Series events and more. Its 50th Season will bring Coming Back Like a Song, Kinky Boots the Musical, The Wedding Singer and more.
When attending a performance, plan to arrive early so that you have time to view the work of local artists in Ridge Art Association’s gallery (adjacent to Theatre Winter Haven’s box office).
