The Broward Center for the Performing Arts overlooks the New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale, The Center brings Broadway musicals, operas, ballets, concerts, plays, multi-cultural performances, films, lectures and numerous community workshops and educational events to South Florida while also creating unique and successful collaborations with partners in the arts, community, government and business. The vision to create a cultural centerpiece came to life at the Broward Center in the form of a grand, multi-venue arts and entertainment complex. The complex opened in 1991 and soon became the anchor of the downtown arts district. The Center's mission includes a strong focus on integrating the arts into education. A long-standing partnership with the School Board of Broward County has created an award-winning model for other communities through the Student Enrichment in the Arts (SEAS) program.SEAS activities are designed to advance specific educational goals tied into state standards, helping to develop our future workforce.

As a focal point of Greater Miami-Dade’s diverse cultural life, the Adrienne Arsht Center enlightens, educates and entertains our community through transformational arts and cultural experiences.

Florida Studio Theatre (FST) is Sarasota’s contemporary theatre. Founded in 1973, FST has grown to a village of five theatres located in the heart of Downtown, Sarasota. Each theatre is small in size and large in impact — providing intimate and engaging settings for high-quality, professional performances. Today, FST has established itself as a major force in American Theatre. FST is the largest subscription theatre in the state of Florida and among the largest in the country, serving more than 230,000 live attendees each year across its six core programs: Mainstage, Cabaret, Stage III, Children’s Theatre, Education, and New Play Development. Even with its growth, Florida Studio Theatre remains firmly committed to making the arts accessible and affordable to as many people as possible. Under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director Richard Hopkins, FST develops theatre that speaks to our living, evolving, and dynamically changing world. Hip and historical, entertaining and challenging, we are the theatre where the street meets the elite — where everyone is welcome to engage in the art of theatre.
