Since relocating to Naples in 2004, Kristen Coury has envisioned a world-class theater venue that has now come to fruition with the Gulfshore Playhouse Theater.

This impressive facility spans 40,000 square feet and features stunning Art Deco wallpaper along with beautifully designed bathrooms.

The theater includes three performance spaces and a meeting area that is available for public rental, enhancing its community accessibility.

Surrounding the theater are gardens that are open to the public, and the lobbies welcome visitors daily for refreshments.

Coury is dedicated to making theater accessible, offering leftover seats for just $17.50 two hours before performances.

Her aspirations extend to winning a regional Tony award, reflecting her commitment to producing high-quality theater.

Recently, Coury was nominated for Gulfshore Life’s Women of the Year award, highlighting her influence in the arts community.

In a recent interview with WINK News anchor Lindsey Sablan, Coury showcased the new Gulfshore Playhouse Theater, emphasizing its significance to the local culture.
