Regarding show-time, Cape Coral has a couple of theaters to choose from. One is The Belle Theatre which offers “a full season of mainstage, Broadway-style productions including musicals and plays, as well as concerts and special events all at an affordable price right in SW Florida,” says Founder and Executive Director Tyler Young.
The Belle is an intimate venue, giving every seat a great view. The Belle’s entire team, and all of their performers are made up of locals passionate about the performing arts. The theater believes in arts for all—both on stage and in the audience. “Grab a drink or a snack at our concession stand and enjoy local, live entertainment. With matinee and evening performances, plays and musicals, contemporary and classic, there is something for everyone!” adds Young.
For the summer months, there’s something special for the young ones as they offer a year-round education program for ages 5+, featuring workshop productions for all ages, school break camps, and homeschool workshops. This fall, the theater will offer new plays and musicals, concerts, educational offerings for adults and children, and special events, such as open mic night and karaoke.
