One of the plays they put on wasn't to my liking, but it had won Tony awards and the performances were excellent. Like most theaters, they do a combination of newer and classic plays. They have a program for kids also. There is usually an intermission where they serve a limited selection of drinks and snacks. The theater is worth supporting, and once I am past some medical issues I plan to become a subscribing member.

Brick roads, historical features and architectural details; one such as myself can learn to appreciate the history of the early 1900's. This building was the original State theatre and was renovated a couple times. The building itself is very clean and they've done a great job with cleanliness and upkeep, I applaud management for that! I even enjoyed their bathroom! Their service was very friendly and their staff just charming! I loved how the lights would blink just before the show begins before and right after intermission. We arrived to attend The Memphis Musical performance to support a friend and it was amazing! We plan to attend again and again. I love coming out of the norm to support the arts instead of just watching another movie. Their website just made everything so simple. We were able to easily select our seats and pay for them online. The box office holds your tickets near the front door with your last name as the reservation. Loved that! The show was sold out but we were able to purchase front row seats a few days earlier! Just visit: www.baystreetplayers.org. A perfect evening for a great date night or viewing with friends. I recommend to pre-purchase tickets online, bring cash-in case you need a snack during the intermission, and walking shoes -in case you need to park far. There's street parking only.

My husband and I stumbled across this venue by chance and the same day stopped in to see a show. We saw a Saturday afternoon show of The Pirates of Penzance. It started at 4pm and although we arrived at 4:05pm there was no problem getting tickets and quickly seated. The show cost only $30.00 per person and after seeing the performance I belIeve that it was way under valued. The performers were amazing and their costumes were beautiful. There was a seventeen piece orchestra playing along with a cast of twenty three. Now that I know that it is here I will be visiting the Clermont Performing Arts Center often. They have several exciting shows coming up.

The evening shimmered with energy--a perfect overture to the season. From the first note to the final bow, the cast carried us on a journey that pulsed with rhythm, harmony, and heart. Their voices soared, their timing danced, and their presence filled the stage with a brilliance that could rival any marquee in New York or London. Theatre, at its best, is a living symphony--dialogue weaving into song, song flowing into story--and this production captured that cadence flawlessly. As the curtain fell, I was struck by the artistry that thrives here in our own backyard. Having lived in Dubai, Las Vegas, London, and New York, I know the grandeur of global stages. Yet nowhere have I found such a steady stream of performances, each one crafted with care, directed with vision, and performed with soul, as I do here in the world's vacation capital. Heather Alexander and Roy Alan, the founders, discovered a rare niche: a theatre that doesn't rely on spectacle or technology, but on the timeless power of human talent. While Dr. Phillips Center dazzles with scale, the Winter Park Playhouse enchants with intimacy--family spirit, authenticity, and artistry that stands the test of time. This was more than entertainment; it was a celebration of craft, community, and pure theatrical joy. Honky Tonk Angels is a salute to the season and a reminder that the greatest value in Central Florida theatre lies not in spectacle, but in the artistry of performers who give themselves fully to the stage. Don't miss this production--it's a standing ovation waiting to happen.

Especially the orchestra, the nuns and the father! We are so very happy to see the Athens bringing back a lot of the golden era musicals like they used to have in 2017 and 18. The children, and all of the performers as a whole were amazing! I enjoyed it so much that I am bringing my mom today! I really hope that the theatre will be bringing back musicals like "hello Dolly", "The King and I", "Guys and Dolls", "Oklahoma", "Brigadoon", "The Music Man", "Gypsy", "My Fair Lady", and "Fiddler On The Roof" to name a few. We love seeing those musicals and bringing the younger generation to see it live. My niece enjoyed it the last time I brought her and it's different than seeing it on a DVD. The theatre is wonderful since the seats are comfortable and you can see from any seat in the house. Come back to the theatre!

Plenty of nearby free parking in historic DeLand makes it convenient and a great opportunity to visit other truly local businesses. I love the small town vibes you get and how it's like stepping back in time! A pro tip: if possible purchase tickets in person to save on the high convenience fee (a flat $5 per ticket - which means sometimes as high as almost 23% the ticket price for $22 obstructed view tickets!). Outside of the fee challenge, it's bound to be a great time between the entertainment, atmosphere, and themed concessions that also sometimes include partnerships with local businesses and offer another great way to support the arts while also supporting the community.
