Venice Theatre, 140 West Tampa Avenue, Venice, Florida, USA / Opened: 1950

WHEN THE THEN-VENICE LITTLE THEATRE mounted its first production in the 1950s, it did so in a borrowed building, had no paid staff, operated entirely with volunteers, and its only revenue came from sales of the $2.00 tickets.

 

TODAY, Venice Theatre is per capital the largest community theatre in the United States with an operating budget of almost three million dollars, a large professional staff and an honored place in the history of Venice Florida.
