PASSION FOR THE

performing arts

AND A RECOGNITION OF 

intimate, immersive spaces

WHERE AUDIENCES CAN

engage deeply

OUR STORY
/

Back in 2016, we realised the city needed more intimate spaces - places where performances felt personal and immersive, not just something to watch from a distance. As theatre lovers, we craved a deeper connection with live art and the people creating it.

 

That’s what sparked Oddbird. We wanted to make the performing arts feel approachable and fun, breaking down the usual barriers between artists and audiences. It’s a space where everyone can be part of something real and meaningful, together. 

Previously, performances at our venue were made possible through support from the foundation. Today, the theatre curates and presents its own programming.

The OddBird Foundation is a non-profit that collaborates with artists and facilitates development of new work.

Volunteer with us

Live performance thrives on the energy and passion of the people who make it happen. If you’re up for helping with production, front-of-house, or connecting with audiences, we’d love to have you on board. Volunteering is a chance to step behind the scenes and be part of a space where artists and audiences meet and connect.

OUR VISION

We’ve always imagined this space as a bridge - connecting art with its audience, creativity with community. Every performance is a chance to spark conversation, build connections, and keep the arts feeling alive and full of possibility.

 

It’s more than just a venue; it’s a shared experience - a place to celebrate stories, perspectives, and the joy of coming together for something real.
