Arts
Thanks to its proximity to Miami, Hialeah residents and visitors can take full advantage of a wide spectrum of cultural activities. The Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts (called TOPA), and the Miami-Dade County Auditorium serve as the primary venues for concerts and theatrical performances in Miami throughout the year.
Music lovers can enjoy performances by the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, the New World Symphony and the Miami Beach Symphony Orchestra.
Broadway and Off-Broadway shows are presented at the historic Coconut Grove, which for more than 50 years has served as south Florida's principal regional theater. Other theatre venues include the Florida Shakespeare Theater and the Miami Light Project, which performs artistic works such as musicals, stand-up comedy, and dance.
