Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre

Take one look at the lineup at the Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre, and you'll believe that regional theater is alive and well in Miami. The gorgeous, restored Coral Gables landmark boasts a 600-seat mainstage auditorium that's home to a full season of grown up shows, kid's productions, educational activities and community services. Their titles run the gamut from intense dramas to musical theater to side-splitting comedies - from Monty Python to Neil Sedaka. As far as the South Florida theater scene, this is company worth keeping.
