Fort Myers Dinner Theater

This week, five shows open, two close, eight continue their runs and there are three limited engagements at Southwest Florida theaters.

Fort Myers Dinner Theatre opened “Matilda” over the weekend in its new space inside Gator Lanes. New stage. New seating area. Bigger space than the theater’s other location on San Carlos Boulevard. The bigger stage gives Fort Myers Theatre’s creative team a lot more to work with.

Two plays open this week in Cape Coral with Ken Ludwig’s “The Game’s Afoot” at The Belle Theatre and Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” at Cultural Park Theatre. Two plays open at Florida Repertory Theatre - “Forever Everly” and “School of Rock Young Actors Edition.” And The Sarasota Players tackle the Bard with “As You Like It’ while Venice Theatre highlights “Four Old Broads.” Five other shows are closing, one continues its run and there is one limited engagement on the boards this week.

This week, three shows open, one closes and three shows continue their runs at Southwest Florida theaters.
