Miami Theater Center

Miami Theater Center (MTC) is a nonprofit performing arts venue at 9806 NE 2nd Ave in Miami Shores, built around live theater, dance, music and film. Its Family Series runs on weekend afternoons with doors opening at 3:30pm and a 2026-27 lineup of Clifford the Big Red Dog, The Snowy Day and Other Stories, The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System and Cat Kid Comic Club: The Musical.

Guests also come for flamenco nights, ballet performances with light-up costumes, MTCfilm screenings and The Jury Experience, where the audience sits as the jury in a staged courtroom case. The house is an older, single-stage theater that guests describe as intimate and cozy, with good sound and lighting and no bad sightlines, though the seats are on the thin side.

Beyond the stage, MTC runs after-school programs, camps and school field trips, and rents its space to artists. Tickets are sold through OvationTix, and the free parking lot and street parking make arriving easy.
