There are 35 theaters in Central Florida — Seminole, Orange, and Osceola Counties, plus a few in Volusia County — that put on live theatre. This does not include children’s theatre, performing arts centers, or dinner theaters that produce the same show nightly. If I’m missing a theater or one has gone out of business, please let me know. (And if you think I should add theaters beyond this scope, let me know if you’re interested in covering them.)
