Manatee Players Performing Arts Center

The new Manatee Players Performing Arts Center will be a state-of-the-art, one of a kind facility for the State of Florida, both professionally and non-professionally. Plans exceed ADA requirements. Every facet of the theatre will be handicapped accessible, including the stage, catwalks, light and sound control booth, and orchestra pit. This added value to the community will allow the Manatee Players to engage all theatre supporters, without obstructions due to physical ailments.

The Manatee Players is more than a venue for entertainment. The educational wing of the theatre located on the second floor is design for both traditional classroom instruction and performance based classes.

The theatre is a key anchor for the downtown cultural arts district and directly impacts the downtown business community. Building Plans for the theatre have embraced the need for more community meeting rooms, concert rental space, and banquet facilities equipped with a catering kitchen.
