Meet the Team

Elizabeth Flemming

Founding Producing Artistic Director

Several years touring and working in the regional circuit as a professional actor, Liz shifted focus to make a difference within our theatre community taking on inclusivity on the stage with the creation of OOTB. Founded in 2015, Liz created OOTB with the hope to create a more inclusive and accessible space while employing actors and directors under full union contracts. Being a visually impaired artist, the message of inclusion has always been an essential part of Liz’s personal mission.

Since that time Liz has produced 8 seasons of fully produced new works and revivals including You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, Songs For A New World, “Master Harold”... And the Boys, The Owl and the Pussycat, Nocturne, Shoes and Baggage (Starring Cheryl Stern), Into the Woods, The Pink Unicorn,The Last Five Years (Drama League Award nom, NY Times Critics’ Pick, NY Times - 2021 Best of Theatre list) starring Nasia Thomas (Caroline or Change) and Nicholas Edwards (Frozen), and Baby (Off-Broadway Alliance Nomination for Best Revival- 2019 and a Drama Desk Award Nomination for Best Revival- 2021).

Independently, she served as a creative producer on the new musical Mommie Dearest written by Christina Crawford and David Nehls, Sam’s Room with New York Theatre Barn, Dying in Boulder with the Tony-winning Organization La MaMa, and The Evolution Of Mann with the cell theatre.

Most recently Liz produced The Last Five Years (Drama League Award nom, NY Times Critics’ Pick, NY Times - 2021 Best of Theatre list) starring Nasia Thomas (Caroline or Change) and Nicholas Edwards (Frozen) with Drama Desk nominated Out of the Box Theatrics and the remount of Baby starring Julia Murney.
