It is with much pleasure that we announce that Miss Florida USA 2015 will return to the historic Parker Playhouse in Ft. Lauderdale. The classic theater will host the seventy-plus delegates for two evenings of pageant competition leading to the announcement of our state champion and representative at Miss USA. The state wide and international broadcast will highlight the final evening of Saturday July 12th while Friday evening July 11th will see all of the delegates in the preliminary competitions of swimsuit and evening gowns. Parker Playhouse hosted the early broadcast years of Miss Florida USA as the competitions between 1983 and 1988 were held in this historic theater that his seen the likes of Carol Channing, Ann Miler and other classic greats of the stage. 

The Parker Playhouse curtain rose for the first time on February 6, 1967. One of Fort Lauderdale’s first venues, the neo-classical Playhouse, was built by Dr. Louis Parker and is managed now by the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. This 1,167-seat fully equipped theater plays an important role in the community by serving as a vibrant part of the area.
