Florida Repertory Theatre

This award-winning theater puts on world-class productions. Located in the heart of beautiful downtown Fort Myers, "The Rep" (as locals call it) offers patrons a wide variety of productions, from dramatic to comedic. Shows occur in the historic Arcade Theatre, built in 1908. It was originally a Vaudeville house, and celebrated figures the likes of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone watched films in this very building. The history of this cozy theater seems to make the productions even more appealing. Recognized nationally as "One of America's Top Repertory Companies," This group truly sets the bar for community theaters. In 2012, the repertory opened a second venue, the ArtStage Studio Theatre.
