Bio
Hi. I run a NYC-based theater and film production company. We focus primarily on underrepresented stories and storytellers. We will have two shows on Broadway when live theater returns this Fall: Thoughts of a Colored Man, written by esteemed TED Fellow Keenan Scott II, and Girl From the North Country, based on the Bob Dylan musical catalog. Other Broadway credits include What the Constitution Means to Me, Network, Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812, A Doll's House Part 2, and Three Tall Women. Our films in development focus on greater representation for and understanding of non gender-conforming individuals, loving someone with Alzheimer’s, and the importance of Science in everyday life. New theater projects look at humans’ fraught relationship with technology, new definitions of love and fidelity and, again, the importance of Science in everyday life. We also produced the award-winning documentary film Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan.
