About Lake Worth Playhouse

Built in the 1920s as a vaudeville and movie house, the Oakley Theatre survived hurricanes and decades of change before becoming the Lake Worth Playhouse. Today its main stage hosts musicals and plays, while a smaller stage presents films, concerts and special events.

It is also famous locally for ghost stories — some call it one of the most haunted buildings in South Florida.
