Olympia Theater

Formerly known as the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, the historic Olympia Theater has provided Miami's downtowners with quality entertainment for almost 90 years. The majestic Olympia began as a silent movie theater in thew 1920s and quickly evolved into a performing arts venue, starting with Vaudeville acts and later with musical performances, including serving as a host for top stars like Etta James and Elvis. The theater has since undergone numerous renovations in order to maintain its beautiful, eclectic design, and is now seeing something of a renaissance, becoming once again a top entertainment spot for everything from film festivals and dance shows to happy hour events and big name concerts.
