Playhouse is passionately committed to enriching the cultural
landscape of our region by producing professional theatre to the
highest artistic standards and providing unique educational
opportunities to diverse groups of people in a spirit of service,
adventure, and excitement. The Playhouse’s work is inspired by a
belief in the magic of theatre to expand the imagination, challenge
the senses, provoke discussion, and revitalize in its audiences an
understanding of our common humanity. This belief drives the care with
which Gulfshore Playhouse treats its artists, audiences, students,
staff, and members of the greater community. This focus is also at the
core of its newest endeavor – the creation of a cultural landmark
facility in downtown Naples. Plans are currently underway for the new
Gulfshore Playhouse Theatre and Education Center at Goodlette-Frank
Road and First Avenue South, which will include two theatres and an
education wing to support programming for children, adults, and
families. For more information about Gulfshore Playhouse, visit
