Welcome to Bluebird Broadcast. Make sure to follow and rate the show 5 stars to let us know you're loving our work.
Bluebird Broadcast is an ever-growing collection of audio theatre, full of original works written by a diverse spectrum of playwrights and performed by brilliant actors from an international casting pool.
Bluebird Broadcast's mission is to perpetuate stories worth listening to -- inherently meaning that the broad spectrum of representation in age, class, race, gender, sexuality, and ability strive to be honored. Both in the stories told and by whom they are written and performed, it is important to the project that they are done justice and granted ample awareness.
Submissions are open to playwrights worldwide, with no restrictions, as are voice actor applications. For production, we choose pieces that align with the Bluebird Theatre Company mission statement; that bring to life stories that spark curiosity, challenge perception, and inspire human connection, with the aim to leave an indelible, positive imprint on the soul.
Submit your script or voice actor’s reel for consideration via bluebirdbroadcast@bluebirdtheatre.org

A commercial jet is stolen from SeaTac airport. As it makes erratic maneuvers over Tacoma, an air traffic controller reaches out to an unlikely culprit: a luggage handler looking for answers at 17,000 feet. This hybrid fiction/found play is based on transcripts from the 2018 Horizon Air incident.
Something in the Air premiered live as part of Sundog Theatre's “The Originals 2023” Series.
“An adventure that you just can't believe is real! Will this luggage handler have his day in the sky?” — Cheryl Bear

Lorraine and Lloyd are paid to keep an eye on the digital activity of their company's employees. Their directive is simple enough: "Observe and report -- no involvement, no interaction." Sometimes, though, that's easier said than done, especially when one employee is working on a screenplay on company time . . . and that screenplay is not up to their standards.
