Historic Tybee Post Theater at Historic Ft. Screven, 10 Van Horn St., Tybee Is.

A new chapter has begun in the life for the historic Tybee Post Theater; it is coming back to life with performances inside the theater!

In addition to its unique size of seating for 240, the Tybee Post Theater's proximity to beach enhances its attractiveness as a destination and venue.  A recent survey confirmed that Tybee Island is the highest rated destination outside of Savannah's Historic District.

Plans for the interior of the Tybee Post Theater create a space that is highly adaptive with a tiered floor that allows for theater seating while also allowing tables for conferences and other events.  By using the Post Guard House in conjunction with the Post Theater, business conferences in the "shoulder" season will be attracted to Tybee for the benefit of hotels and other lodging as well as for restaurants.

There are many potential uses of the theater space that would attract a year-round audience to Tybee, from Wilmington Island, and from Savannah:

·         movie nights with pizza or popcorn

·         family sing along at sunset

·         educational movies and lectures

·         theater productions

·         live musical performances

·         art exhibits

·         activities and educational programs for children

The Tybee Post Theater has a close working relationship with important non-profit organizations - the Lucas Theater, the Savannah Folk Music Society and the Savannah Music Festival - which will be of great assistance in developing programming for the theater.  In addition, local professional musicians see the theater space as an exciting new venue and are eager to offer their support and talents.
