Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Sunrise opened its doors on August 1, 1923 as the largest theatre on Florida ‘s East Coast between Jacksonville and Miami . It quickly became the center of all St. Lucie County‘s cultural activities. The theatre closed its doors on September 8, 1983 , due to the decline of the downtown area and a refusal to convert to multi-screen operation. In 1988, Main Street Fort Pierce was established and soon realized the need for the Sunrise Theatre as a center of world class performing arts.

Main Street Fort Pierce began an effort to save the historic theatre. In 1997, the Sunrise Theatre was purchased by the St. Lucie Preservation Association, Inc. and today the theatre is completely renovated and is being used once again as the cultural center of St Lucie County as well as the Treasure Coast.

Within sight of the picturesque waters of the Indian River Lagoon, the state of the arts facility offers unobstructed views of the stage from all 1,200 seats for the presentation of local and national touring musical acts, dance troupes, orchestras, etc. With more than 40,000 square foot of space, the theatre can host performances, conferences, lectures and small meetings both in its auditorium and in small meeting rooms. The Sunrise will also house a unique restaurant in the near future.
