Since 2013, The portion of the Sprowel Creek Road school building in Garberville dedicated as a public space has been governed by a 501c3 non-profit board of directors.

The board, current board; Daniel Miller, Joshua Golden, Charley Custer, Gary Quinn, Cynthany Windwalker, Peter Atherton, and Becky Wolverton, with community advisors, are responsible for the management of the Playhouse as a public trust, maintaining a common space that has become a vital element in Southern Humboldt.

The building has a special and unique role in our community, constructed with public funds as “New Deal” project in 1939, the campus was used for many years as the Garberville school, later housing The Osprey Learning Center. Routinely used for public events, performances, and a Teen Center before being purchased from the school district by The College of the Redwoods. The community college invested in a renovation of the facility and encouraged the vision of playhouse organizers. Current property owners, The Southern Humboldt Community Healthcare District have continued to support both our vision and investment in the infrastructure of the building.
With an increasing inventory of theatrical technical equipment the Playhouse is performance ready, and can be configured for a variety of events. We offer low-cost rentals for gatherings, meetings, classes, rehearsals, and performance.
