Share a New Experience: Community Theatre in St. Lucie
When was the last time you went to the theatre? Not to see the latest blockbuster film, but to see a live performance? There is nothing quite like the shared experience of an audience spontaneously reacting to a funny moment in a play or musical, or holding your partner’s hand during dramatic moments. If you’re looking for an entertaining night on the town, consider St. Lucie’s community theatre scene, where there are shows you can enjoy year-round.
