Loonlight Theatre

About

Loonlight Theatre is a new, independent theatre company dedicated to bringing high-quality performances to unexpected places around southeast Michigan. Founded in the summer of 2025 by University of Michigan alumna, Darla Hand (who has also directed and produced the shows) shares a love for both the stage and a little element of surprise. Loonlight aims to transform cafés, patios, restaurants, libraries, bars, and anywhere else with enough room for a few chairs and a lot of imagination into one-of-a-kind performance venues. The plan is simple: create theatre that is fun, accessible, and rooted in our community. We welcome performers of all ages and experiences, partnering with local businesses and organizations to bring fresh energy to Michigan’s arts scene. Whether it’s a witty comedy under string lights or a heartfelt drama in a tucked-away corner, we believe theatre can happen anywhere under the “loonlight”. We’re here to prove that the best seat in the house might not be in a theatre at all.
