ABOUT US
Ghostbird Theatre Company is the only theatre company in the American South fully dedicated to presenting site-inspired, place-specific stories and conceptual events. We create new works or select classic plays with our host venue in mind, designing the play in concert with the venue, its history, its aesthetics, and its mission. Our shows are intimate, sometimes immersive, and always very different from what you might find among our fellow theatre makers in Southwest Florida.
Our runs are short and our locations are sometimes illusive, but that just adds to the fun. Come find us.
Ghostbird Theatre Company’s namesake is the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, a cypress-swamp native thought to be extinct, but some say it still swoops down from mossy branches on occasion. Old-timers swear they can hear it knocking. And it's the mystery, the elusiveness, and the legend of this totemic bird that inspires us. Not everything is as it seems.
OUR MISSION
Ghostbird Theatre Company's mission is to engage, inspire, and educate our community by producing site-inspired and immersive works that challenge audiences to re-examine the human condition from a fresh perspective.
