OUT OF THE BOX THEATRICS
Out of the Box Theatrics was founded in 2016 by Liz Flemming, a legally blind artist, to create space for artists who have been historically underrepresented and undervalued. The company stages innovative and site-specific productions of new and classic plays and musicals while challenging audiences to experience these works outside of their expectations. By casting without regard to gender, race, creed, ethnicity, or disability, OOTB seeks to create a more inclusive and equitable theatre industry.
OOTB earned recognition for its critically acclaimed streaming co-production of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last 5 Years (New York Times’ Critics Pick, 2021 Drama League Nominee for Outstanding Digital Theater, 2022 Antonyo Award winner for Best Digital Theater Production), and its new productions of the 1983 Broadway musical Baby (2022 Drama Desk Award nominee, Outstanding Revival of a Musical) and the 2005 Off-Broadway musical, See What I Wanna See (three 2025 Drama Desk Award nominations, including Outstanding Revival of a Musical). OOTB was awarded an Obie Award for their 2024 season at Theater 154. The company recently found its home in the theatre district, signing a ten-year lease with St. Luke’s Theatre on 46th Street.
