Changing the Stage
Liz Flemming is the Founding Producing Artistic Director of Out of the Box Theatrics, an Off-Broadway, Obie Winning and Drama Desk Nominated Non-Profit committed to lifting the voice of Marginalized Communities through the stories we tell. Liz Founded OOTB in 2015 in the hopes that she could create a more inclusive and accessible space, while also employing actors and directors under full Union contracts. As a low vision artist, the message of inclusion has always been an essential part of Liz’s personal mission.
Since that time, Liz has headed 9 seasons of fully Produced New Work & Revivals. Over its nine years of operation OOTB has performed in coffee shops and abandoned storefronts, on playgrounds, in apartments, and just about any space you can imagine. As the company has grown, the mission has expanded to supporting artists through the full developmental process of a piece. In the fall of 2023, OOTB entered a partnership with Chashama. Through this partnership, OOTB has found a new home at 154 Christopher Street, in the former home of The New Ohio.
With the acquisition of a physical space, OOTB has expanded its mission yet again to include supporting artists through access to affordable space. OOTB is producing a full season of shows, readings, and community events at 154, but is also partnering with numerous organizations and independent artists to hold space for as many creatives as possible.
Independently, notable work includes Creative Producer on the New Musical Mommie Dearest (written by Christina Crawford & David Nehls), Sam’s Room (New York Theatre Barn), Dying in Boulder with the Tony Award-Winning Organization La MaMa, and The Evolution Of Mann with The Cell Theatre, for whom she has also served as Associate Producer.
Liz Flemming is the current Producing Artistic Director of Out of the Box Theatrics. She has led the company with the mission of inclusion leading the way. OOTB has been nominated for a Drama Desk for best revival (BABY), Drama League for the digital production (The Last Five Years), Off-Broadway Alliance (BABY- 2019), Antonyo Award Winner (The Last Five Years), and is a recent Obie Award Winner for her 2024 Season at Theater 154.

OOTB's production of See What I Wanna See features an all-AAPI cast of actors & elements inspired by traditional Asian theater practices, bringing LaChiusa’s Americanized adaptation into conversation with the Asian-American experience.
