Fort Pierce is one of two cultural centers on the Treasure Coast, with the Sunrise Theater offering top shows and performers.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Sunrise opened its doors on August 1, 1923 as the largest theatre on Florida 's East Coast between Jacksonville and Miami. The theatre closed its doors on September 8, 1983 , due to the decline of the downtown area and a refusal to convert to multi-screen operation. In 1988, Main Street Fort Pierce was established and soon realized the need for the Sunrise Theatre as a center of world class performing arts.
Main Street Fort Pierce began an effort to save the historic theatre. In 1997, the Sunrise Theatre was purchased by the St. Lucie Preservation Association, Inc. and today the theatre is completely renovated and is being used once again as the cultural center of St Lucie County as well as the Treasure Coast.
The Sunrise Theater has proved that the need for the Arts is alive and well irrespective of the economy and continues to be well supported by locals and visitors, alike.
