Players by the Sea

Players by the Sea is the nonprofit community theatre at 106 North 6th Street, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250. Google Places lists the phone as (904) 201-9609 and types the listing as a performing-arts theater. This Stay Safe Jax page is that Sixth Street house. It is not Florida Theatre downtown, not Alhambra Theatre & Dining, and not a beach nightclub even though the catalog bucket is Nightlife. Visit Jacksonville lists Players by the Sea at 106 6th Street North and describes a nearly 60-year company that stages live theatre a short walk from the ocean. JaxPlays says the nonprofit was founded in 1966 and names two rooms: the 150-seat John McManus Mainstage Theatre and the 80-seat Grace Darling Studio Theatre. The Ponte Vedra Recorder’s 2026 reopening story said the company has been in the current Sixth Street building since 1999. Those public pages match the Google pin Stay Safe Jax is using. WOKV reported on June 10, 2026, that Players by the Sea reopened about 14 months after fire and flooding. Executive director Bradley Akers told the station sprinklers stopped the fire but ran for about 12 hours. Board president Devlin Wynn put flood damage at least at $650,000, paid through insurance, donors, and community support, and said the rebuild brought the building up to current codes. Violet was the first show back. A fire-and-flood rebuild is a sourced recovery story, not a reason to raise a warning flag. Public ratings on this page are stored snapshots, not live scores. Google Places currently lists Players by the Sea at 4.8 from 315 reviews for the 106 North 6th Street listing, the same place ID stored here. Stay Safe Jax has no stored Yelp rating, so the headline is the Google snapshot: 4.8 from 315 reviews. Those numbers do not refresh when someone opens the page. A high-4 file from a few hundred theatregoers is ordinary praise for a Beaches nonprofit, not a citywide survey. Google currently lists closed Monday, Tuesday through Friday 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and closed Saturday and Sunday. Those look like box-office hours, not curtain times. Check the production you bought. Google lists wheelchair parking, entrance, and restroom, and does not list wheelchair seating. Stay Safe Jax did not inspect the house and does not treat a missing seating tag as a scandal. Stay Safe Jax leaves warning flags at 0. Players by the Sea is an operating Jacksonville Beach theatre with a strong Google snapshot, a visitor-bureau listing, and 2026 news that the Sixth Street building is open again. The tone follows that evidence. Stay Safe Jax does not paste a company website. If you are going to a show, use 106 North 6th Street and confirm whether your seat is on the mainstage or in the studio.
