In the year 1926-1960, the theatre was said to be in its golden age. It hosted many live performances and movie shows before being occupied by a police station and jail (but was demolished soon). The venue was the largest theatre in Florida when it was inaugurated. The opening night ceremony was accompanied by several events including a live stage show, fanfare of the American Legion Bugle Corps, stage presentations, newsreels, and the Let It Rain film. The Florida Theatre currently serves permanent home to the Florida Ballet, the annual Community Nutcracker, and the TheatreWorks.
