For decades beginning in 1958, the Royal Poinciana Playhouse was the place to be for the glitterati of Palm Beach. Built on waterfront land once occupied by Henry Flagler’s pioneering Royal Poinciana Hotel, the theater presented original theatrical productions and, later, hosted touring Broadway shows.
