Co-founded by Anne Kraft and Jean Rahner, the Limelight Theatre staged its first production, I Ought To Be in Pictures, on August 28, 1992, in the Monson Bayfront Inn. It provided entertainment at this location for almost two years. In 1994, the Theatre achieved not-for-profit status as a 501(c)3 organization, and it continued to offer productions for a number of years at a wide variety of local venues, including the Art Association, churches, the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, Marineland, Flagler College and a small rented building on U.S. Highway 1.

In 2001, through a generous grant from the Joukowsky Family Foundation, the Limelight purchased a 10,000 square foot building at 11 Old Mission Avenue, converted it to a 125- seat theater and moved into its first permanent home.

Proudly celebrating over 20 years in the community, the Limelight Theatre has produced well over one hundred different shows in its history, from classics to new works, tragedies to musical comedies. The working Board of Directors, Advisory Board and Limelight Theatre Guild continue to improve and help the theatre to flourish. Attendance has continued to grow, and today the Theatre is widely respected as one of North Florida’s top cultural organizations.
