We're Taking our TALENT to the STREET...
... Flagler Street!
Flagler Street Stages:
• 159 E. Flagler Street • 132 E. Flagler Street |
Olympia Theater launches Street Stages, bringing FREE community programming to Downtown Miami’s Flagler Street on Friday and Saturday evenings through March 2021. Since we can’t present entertainment inside, Olympia brings the show outside so everyone can enjoy Miami’s talented Performing Artists in a safe, socially distanced, responsible way.
Every Friday and Saturday from 4:00p to 8:00p Singer/Songwriters, Jazz/Pop Ensembles, Jugglers, Electronica, Comedians, Opera and Performance Art pop up in front of Storefront Art Installations at two locations on East Flagler Street. Sets are short and a perfect fit between drinks and bites in Downtown restaurants and bars. Street Stages is part of the #Flagler District #SafeStreets / Alt-B initiative, activating vacant storefronts with Art, and is funded by Miami DDA, Miami-Dade County, Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and supported by Flagler District BID. |
