We are so thrilled to have you for an historic season. Since 2006, we have called the Norris Center home. This season marks the final year here, filled with a line-up of delightful productions from the heartwarming to the hilarious.

You don’t want to miss a moment of this season. Our mission is to produce the highest-caliber professional theatre in our region for your ultimate enjoyment. From the shows we select, the designers from around the nation we hire, the professional actors we cast, the dedicated Gulfshore Playhouse team, to the performance you are about to witness, everything we do is with care and appreciation for your presence. I hope you find joy, connection, revelation, laughter, and more this season!

I would highly encourage you to consider purchasing a Flex Pass for the 2023-2024 season. Not only will you save on tickets and enjoy numerous benefits, you will also be among the first to have access to tickets for the 2024-2025 opening season at the Baker Theatre and Education Center.

Coming Soon!

WORLD PREMIERE

After a well-to-do Connecticut family unexpectedly ends up as refugees in the Middle East due to a civil war in the United States, their charmed life comes to an abrupt end. Lawyer Yates, socialite Poppy, and their 17-year-old son Wynn are suddenly fish out of water, at odds with their new home and with each other. When Yates gets involved in a hapless scheme to emigrate to Europe, hijinks ensue and the family is forced to choose between embracing their new reality or returning to the way things used to be. Equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking, The Refugees is a bold new comedy exploring patriotism, identity, and belonging.

Classes

Specialty skills are taught through intensive, themed classes for all ages.

From in-school residencies and pre-professional theatre training to community partnerships, audience engagement, and student matinees – our goal is to inspire creativity, encourage self-expression, and support the blossoming of self-confidence, collaboration, and a deep appreciation or the arts.

ThinkTheatre brings theatre-based learning techniques into the classroom by pairing teachers with teaching artists to develop educationally enriching programs. Classroom residencies reflect standards-based curriculum while creating an interdisciplinary learning environment focused on academic enhancement, confidence, teamwork, and self-expression.

Community Engagement

Aiding in the development of theatre classes, clubs, and programs in our area schools, we help ensure every child in the district has the opportunity to experience transformative theatrical experiences.
