Coronado Playhouse at 1835 Strand Way, 92118, stages a full season of plays and musicals in an intimate black-box theater on the bayfront. Founded in 1947, it is one of the oldest continuously operating community theaters in California — performing near the Coronado Community Center at 1845 Strand Way on the same waterfront campus. The small-venue format creates an up-close theatrical experience distinct from larger venues. For professional Actors' Equity productions on the island, Lamb's Players Theatre at 1142 Orange Avenue has staged professional work since 1994.
