About Us:

The founders of RedBird Theater Company (David Berberian, Derrick Ivey, and Jeri Lynn Schulke) share a combined 75+ years of theater and arts experience. Perhaps best known to audiences as actors, we have also collaborated with many regional arts organizations in various aspects of theater-making and support: producing, designing, directing, building, organizing, teaching, marketing, and fundraising.

Our Mission:

RedBird Theater Company brings inclusive and accessible programming to Durham and the greater Triangle region. We curate the stories we tell to reflect our times, engage our audience, and challenge our community. We create a safe space where North Carolina's artists are supported professionally and fairly compensated while sharing their craft with their community.
