The Parker Playhouse is a 1,191-seat theatre in southern Florida.
The Playhouse was established by Dr. Louis Parker. The curtain rose for the first time on February 6, 1967 as E.G. Marshall and Dennis O'Keefe starred in Neil Simon ’s The Odd Couple . Parker teamed with Broadway impresario Zev Buffman who was also producing shows in Miami at the Coconut Grove Playhouse , to offer productions featuring many of the top theater artists of the
day. Parker Playhouse has produced continuously for nearly 40 years
with community arts organizations joining Broadway headliners in shows
that made South Florida theater history.
Since
2006 the Parker Playhouse is controlled by the Performing Arts Center
Authority ("PACA") – the governing body that oversees the Broward Center for the Performing Arts which manages the theater and provides the programming on its stage.

I
have seen and heard the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men's Chorus from the last
row and Florence Henderson, (dressed in leather with whip!!!), in the over 60
Follies in the first row. I've seen Dame Edna, plays, musicals, some of
the biggest Broadway and Hollywood stars in classic and new plays
without ever having a bad seat. No matter where you are you will see and
hear everything. There is no middle aisle so there is plenty of room
between the aisles for people to pass without stepping on your toes or
your having to get up.
