Downtown Bradenton · Community theater

Manatee Performing Arts Center

Bradenton's own stage: musicals and plays in Stone Hall and the Bradenton Kiwanis Theater.

The Manatee Performing Arts Center is downtown Bradenton's home for community theater, with two venues under one roof: the main Stone Hall and the smaller Bradenton Kiwanis Theater.

This fall it's running Carrie: The Musical (Oct 15–Nov 1) and Dear Evan Hansen (Oct 22–Nov 1). A four-story addition, Sara's Studios, is due in early 2027.

Tips

  • It's a short walk from the Riverwalk and Old Main Street restaurants.
  • Call the box office to confirm showtimes.
