Gulfshore Playhouse
Gulfshore Playhouse is Naples’s professional theatre company, founded to fill a niche in a community which holds great interest in the arts. The professional self-producing theatre has mounted Broadway quality shows in Naples for nearly two decades. After years of building a following, it has outgrown its current facility.
The 50,000 square foot complex will feature a 350-seat stage house, a 125-seat black-box studio, an educational wing, art gallery, public café, a Founders Lounge, rehearsal spaces, costume shop, storage, adminis-trative offices and separate parking facility. The distinct, sculpted architecture reflects the innovative spirit of the performance art work taking place within while carefully selected exterior materials respond to the local climate. Conveying a sense of the surrounding context, following the movements of sand, sun, and sea, the project expects to stand as a beacon and attraction for the Southwest Florida region.
