Venice Performing Arts Center

We're Still Here! As of March 2023, Venice Theatre remains open. After Hurricane Ian made landfall September 28, 2022, the west side of the main building, the lobby, the offices, and rehearsal rooms had some water damage, but are intact. Our two other buildings on campus – The Technical Arts Center and the Raymond Center (old temporary library) are being used. In January 2023, the Pinkerton Theatre inside the main building reopened. Please visit our website for updated information. Venice Theatre is one of the largest and most active community theatres in the United States. Located in Venice, Florida, we are a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization that has been providing entertainment, education and engagement to our community since 1950.

The Glenridge performing Arts Center is a beautiful 260 seat theatre. We present all kinds of performances from Classical to Jazz, from Broadway to Pop. Because we are located on the grounds of a Continuing Care Retirement Community we are not selling tickets to the public right now, but we hope to once again offer that in the coming months. Please call 941-552-5325 for more information.
