Ghostbird Theatre Company is the only theatre company in the American South fully dedicated to presenting site-inspired, place-specific stories and conceptual events. The company creates new works and selects classic plays with its host venue in mind, designing the play in concert with the venue, its history, its aesthetics, and its mission. Shows are intimate, sometimes immersive, and always very different from what theatergoers might find at other Southwest Florida theaters.<\/p>\n

Ghostbird Theatre Company\u2019s namesake is the ivory-billed woodpecker. <\/p>\n
Ghostbird Theatre Company\u2019s namesake is the ivory-billed woodpecker. A cypress-swamp native thought to be extinct, 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 Ghostbird, where not everything is as it seems.<\/p>\n
Ghostbird\u2019s mission is to engage, inspire, and educate the community by producing site-inspired and immersive works that challenge audiences to re-examine the human condition from a fresh perspective.<\/p>\n
