Dragonfly Theatre Company was originally founded in November 2020 by Jean Gottlieb

as a virtual outlet during the pandemic, producing new plays on zoom.

​

From 2023-2026, Dragonfly Theatre Company proudly hosted Subtext Studio Theatre Company, which was created when Omar Fernandez and Jean Gottlieb combined forces to produce new plays by diverse playwrights, plays that center the voices of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities and peoples. After three successful seasons of developing and producing exceptional new plays, Fernandez stepped down as Artistic Director and

Dragonfly Theatre resumed operations.​

​

Dragonfly Theatre  Company is currently a women-led, nonprofit theater dedicated to

developing and producing bold, socially relevant new plays

by, for, and about women (in all their glorious forms).

​

Centering the voices and experiences of mature artists, we create opportunities for stories

too often overlooked and perspectives too rarely represented on stage.

We seek to spark conversation, illuminate contemporary issues,

and foster connection, empathy, and community.

 

Dragonfly Theatre Company’s programming focuses on development, readings

and productions of new plays and a yearly New Play Festival.
