The company (celebrating it's 20th season) is known for placing traditional plays in contemporary settings and offers special programs throughout the year geared toward students. Shows currently scheduled range from Much Ado About Nothing to the Merchant of Venice to the Velveteen Rabbit. Performances are held in three venues: the Ken and Trisha Margeson Theater, which has 324 seats that wrap around three sides of the stage; the Marilyn and Sig Goldman Theater, an intimate 118-seater; and the Walt Disney Amphitheater at Lake Eola, where the 936 seats give a view of Shakespeare under the stars.
