Gulfshore Playhouse Announces the Inaugural 2024-2025 Season in the Baker Theatre and Education Center

Naples, FL – Kristen Coury, Founder, CEO and Producing Artistic Director of Gulfshore Playhouse, is thrilled to announce the complete 2024-2025 season, the first in the new Baker Theatre and Education Center. Performances begin October 27, 2024. As the only fully professional LORT (League of Resident Theatres) theatre company in Naples, Gulfshore Playhouse will welcome casts and creative teams from Broadway and beyond to grace both the Broadway-sized Moran Mainstage and flexible, black box Struthers Studio.

“It is with utmost joy and gratitude that I get to say: Welcome to the 2024-2025 season at Gulfshore Playhouse, our inaugural season at the Baker Theatre and Education Center,” said Coury. “Finally, our grand dream is no longer in the future tense, it’s right before us in glorious, vibrant reality.”

“Generous donors, loyal patrons, and a first-rate Board of Directors made this dream a reality. Countless staff members over the past decade have contributed their expertise to making it as exceptional as possible,” Coury continued. “Consultants, architects, and construction workers turned it from lines on a page into this striking facility which we will soon call home. The City of Naples acknowledged the fact that a community benefits when the arts flourish and partnered with us to construct a public parking garage right across the street. The building, of course, has a physical foundation, but it’s true bedrock lies in the hearts, minds, and hands of those who made it happen.”

In the building are two venues: the Moran Mainstage and the Struthers Studio, in addition to an entire wing dedicated to educational programs, which allows Gulfshore Playhouse to serve in so many ways, providing a wide variety of programming to ensure all are getting the best in arts and education. The educational offerings will expand greatly this next season, serving students of all stages of life.

Gulfshore Playhouse Season

In the Moran Mainstage, there are four productions lined up. Launching the season in November is the beloved musical comedy, Anything Goes. Coury will direct this toe-tapping, Broadway-sized musical. Full of dazzling musical theatre spectacle, this is the perfect way to kick off the inaugural season and a tiding of all good things to come. In the winter of 2025, a fresh adaptation of a Hitchcock classic, Dial “M” for Murder, directed by Jackson Gay, will grace the stage. Continuing the season, we’ll produce the outrageous, timeless comedy, Noises Off. Wrapping up our debut season is Sweet Charity, directed and choreographed by Artistic Associate Dann Dunn. With a hilarious book by Neil Simon, this musical is a cherry on top of what will be a very memorable theatrical cake.

In the Struthers Studio, a flexible black box space, Gulfshore Playhouse will design three different stage configurations for three thought-provoking productions. First up, Every Brilliant Thing, directed by Risa Brainin and starring Jeffrey Binder, is an uplifting and interactive one-man show where the audience will help bring the story to life. Next, one of the most popular plays in America, The Lehman Trilogy, highlighting three generations of the infamous American dynasty will be directed by Jeffrey Binder. Last, we’ll transform the theatre into an atmospheric jazz club for Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill, a jukebox musical about songstress Billie Holiday, directed by Marshall Jones III. Guests will be able to get a drink at the bar right inside the theatre.

More about the shows follows below.

Gulfshore Playhouse Education
