About
Our History
Established in 1992, Limelight is the only theatre located in St. Augustine with its own building and year-round programming. In addition to presenting nine mainstage productions each season,
Limelight offers classes and training for all ages, and special events produced by the St. Augustine Film Festival and The St. Augustine Amphitheatre.
Limelight aims to be a nationally acclaimed theatre recognized for artistic innovation and excellence.
Limelight has cultivated a diverse, multigenerational community of artists and supporters through
intriguing storytelling and conservatory training. Our programming educates, engages, and
showcases the importance of the arts and its contributions to society.
Since becoming the Executive Director in 2022, Sherrie Provence has sought to elevate the
Limelight to a professional, regional theatre with a community heart, with the caliber of productions
that make the Limelight Theatre a destination for those traveling to the oldest city. Limelight serves
a growing, loyal patronage of over 20,000 annually and has been votedby Broadway World the best
theatre in northeast Florida two years in a row. With more than two hundred volunteers, full
audiences, and popular educational opportunities, Limelight is a thriving center for arts and culture.
