Our Mission

Founded in 2009, Red Productions Events started in a theater lab on Allen Street, in NYC's Lower East Side.


We began by presenting true stories lived by young women who asked us to put their stories on stage, which led to a monologue series we eventually called "The Red Anthology."

Founded in 2009, Red Productions Events started in a theater lab on Allen Street, in NYC's Lower East Side.


We began by presenting true stories lived by young women who asked us to put their stories on stage, which led to a monologue series we eventually called "The Red Anthology."


Since then,  we have grown to produce theater in San Francisco, Buffalo, and Off-Broadway, but our work has always been rooted in events drawn from the experiences of actual people whose lives inspired us.


Whether it is the struggle of a teenage girl on her own in New York City, a wealthy family at their lakeside estate in New England, a phone counselor on a crisis hotline, or a celebrated author of children's fantasy books, real people and stories remain the basis of our work.

We seek out and collaborate with dedicated artists who are committed to bringing authentic stories to the stage.


We are  confrontational, poetic and full of humanity  in our theater presentations.


 Although our plays are based on the actual lives of real people, we utilize the full spectrum of theatrical art to present them on stage. We can create expressionist experiments, walk-through theater and  monolgue choreopoems -- but also traditional theater that will catch you off-guard with a daring concept or unexpected  twist.


Presenting the truth of lives lived is how we create unforgettable theater.
