ABOUT US

At Oddbird Theatre, we’ve seen how live performances can bring people together, spark emotion, and create connections that last. What started as a simple idea - to build a space for shared experiences - has grown into a home for the performing arts, where creativity and diverse voices come together in unexpected ways.
