While you’re here, check out some of Railroad Square’s unique art galleries, shops and cafes.

Theatre Tallahassee

Drama and comedy are on ample display throughout the year at Theatre Tallahassee, where the newly renovated Mainstage and The Studio offer full-scale productions galore. 9 to 5, Singin’ in the Rain and Barefoot in the Park are among the shows on the calendar this year, but there are always additional performances on the horizon.
