Serenbe Playhouse is a Metro-Atlanta professional, regional theatre partnered with The Serenbe Institute for Art, Culture & the Environment, which is a non-profit, tax-exempt community organization.  Serenbe Playhouse is honored to be launching our inaugural season this Summer!

mission

Serenbe Playhouse is rooted in its community, striving to enhance the creative, intellectual and ecological cultivation of Serenbe and the Chattahoochee Hills area. Echoing our unique environment, we endeavor to produce a diverse and eclectic body of work, strengthening the connections between nature, culture and art that lie at the core of the Serenbe experience.

vision

We strongly believe that theatre is an art form with the unique power to illuminate the human experience. Serenbe Playhouse will aim to fill this role in Serenbe, bringing high quality and artistically rich live theatre to the community. With hopes of becoming the artistic epicenter of Serenbe, the Playhouse will serve as a gathering place for active exchange about culture and the power of creativity. The Playhouse will produce an eclectic mix of classics, modern works, musicals, new works, and children’s theatre. We aim to bring theatre artists, citizens and visitors together in active collaboration.

By working in accordance with Serenbe’s ecological standards, we endeavor to present live theatre in the most ecologically respectful way. Performances will be produced in an outdoor environment, utilizing the beauty of Serenbe’s natural backdrop and existing structures. Serenbe Playhouse is using cutting edge green theatre practices in our productions by using natural light and theatrical lighting which is 90% LED and constructing with as many reclaimed and recycled materials as possible.

Serenbe Playhouse will use theatre as an artistic education tool. We will sponsor a youth theatre camp, in cooperation with the existing Camp Serenbe. Encouraging youth participation within the arts will be a lifelong commitment of Serenbe Playhouse. We will also present/sponsor adult classes and workshops and plan to implement an Intern/Apprentice program.

about the serenbe playhouse firefly

• Fireflies represent the environment in which Serenbe Playhouse will produce theatre, the beautiful outdoors… perhaps audience members will even spot fireflies during their Playhouse experience.

• Fireflies are whimsical and reminiscent of warm summer nights of childhood, chasing the blinking wonders with a mason jar in hand. Theatre transforms us to a child-like state of imagination where we are transported by the magic of live theatre.

• Fireflies produces natural light representing our quest for the most ecological theatre practices in lighting and overall production of live theatre.

• Fireflies are visible one moment and gone the next, just as the changing of scenes, the beginning and end of a play.

• With over 2,000 species of fireflies they are eclectic and varied in form, just as the body of work Serenbe Playhouse will produce… no two productions or fireflies will be quite the same.

We are ready and set to GLOW this summer!
