The Willow Theatre
The Willow Theatre is a 155-seat theater inside the Sugar Sand Park Community Center. It's small enough that every seat is close to the stage, and its season mixes plays and musical tributes with children's shows, afternoon talks and independent films.
What's here
- Mainstage productions: plays and musical revues.
- Family productions for kids and parents.
- Afternoons at the Willow: daytime talks on history, art and everyday topics.
- An Indie Film Series.
- A box office in the Community Center.
Good to know
The box office is open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. and one hour before every performance; call 561-347-3948. Local listings put most tickets at about $10 to $15. Parking is free, and the Community Center lot is closest.
The season
The Willow's season runs on four series. Mainstage productions are full shows, recently including Neil Simon's Last of the Red Hot Lovers, the musical face-off Sinatra vs. Roselli: Two Singers from Hoboken, the drama A Human Being Died That Night and a Bette Midler tribute, Bathhouse to Broadway. Family productions have included The House at Pooh Corner and Florida Treasures.
Afternoons at the Willow are daytime talks for adults, on subjects from Henry Flagler and the railroad that remade Florida's east coast to Frida Kahlo's life and work. The Indie Film Series screens independent films. The City posts the 2026-2027 season online.
Tickets
Buy tickets through the City's online ticketing or at the box office, which is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. and opens one hour before each performance. Most shows are inexpensive by South Florida standards, around $10 to $15 according to local listings. With only 155 seats, popular shows sell out, so book ahead.
Inside the theater
Because the house is so small, there's no bad seat. The Willow shares the Community Center with the Explorium, so a family matinee can follow a morning of science exhibits without moving the car.
Renting the Willow
The theater can be rented for performances, recitals and presentations. The City publishes rental and technical specifications for the space; contact the Community Center at 561-347-3900 to ask about dates.
