A New Challenge

It's been an exhilarating whirlwind of a year! Since the summer of 2022, RedBird Theater Company has presented 2 critically acclaimed productions to sold out houses, employed more than 20 regional theater artists, been featured in Durham Magazine's "Influencers" edition, established partnerships with many local businesses, amassed more than 500 subscribers, initiated a series of theater classes, and received almost 50 original script submissions from North Carolina playwrights... and then we lost our performance space.


Just as we were opening John Logan's RED and preparing for the Summer 2023 premiere of North Carolina playwright Chris Shuptrine's THE NUMBERS ARE DOWN, we learned that our performance space at Durham Bottling Company would be converted into office cubicles.


It was quite a blow. We've loved working at Durham Bottling Company -- the staff and community of entrepreneurs are amazing! But we now find ourselves in search of a new home. We know the right space is out there and we are working hard to find it. If you have any insights or suggestions, please let us know!

THE WOOLGATHERER

by William Mastrosimone

October 7-17, 2021 @ Shadowbox Studio

FOUR STARS

(S)tripped all of the varnish off a work once referred to as “a touching love story,” exposing the deep dysfunctions not only among its damaged characters, but in the culture and the times they live as well.... no one’s about to live happily ever after here. The dream at the end... can only segue into a nightmare – one that our culture, now caught in pandemic levels of trauma and domestic violence, is still struggling to wake from.
