Gable Stage

Founded in 1979 as Florida Shakespeare Theatre, GableStage originally performed the plays of Shakespeare in repertory, using the outdoor Casino Gardens at Vizcaya. From 1987 to 1992, Florida Shakespeare Theatre was housed in the Minorca Playhouse in Coral Gables, until it was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew. But the theatre’s mission could not be destroyed, and it continued to produce at the Carousel Theatre in Coral Gables in 1993 and 1994. In 1999, the theatre moved to its current home, the historic Biltmore Hotel, and became GableStage.

GableStage is now one of South Florida’s longest running and most highly acclaimed theater companies and is at the cutting edge of theatre in South Florida, striving to present the most vital works of contemporary playwrights worldwide as highlighted in the current season as well as our past seasons.
